Un debut punyent i ple de tendresa que ens endinsa en el laberint de la prostitució.Després de la mort del seu pare, en Damia passa les nits rondant per Barcelona, mancat dil·lusio i dafecte. Potser per demostrar-se que encara es capaç de sentir alguna cosa comença a prostituir-se i la seva vida es bifurca: de dia es un adolescent aplicat als estudis que te cura de la seva avia, i de nit ofrena el seu cos per sadollar les fantasies dhomes estranys. Els mesos passen, i tambe les estacions, i la Barcelona nocturna revela els seus perills, la violencia i la sordidesa.
