This is the story of the sexual awakening of Mingo, a young man with a certain level of mental challenges, a man with charisma and an imaginative poet who notices the most insignificant details of every life. His new role as a lover causes him problems: it will expose the prejudices and a false morality of a town that, to cleanse its sins, will blindly have its revenge with the death of the least guilty.

 

Esta es la historia del despertar sexual de Mingo, un joven con cierto retraso mental, carismático y poeta fantasioso que pone atención a los detalles más insignificantes de la vida cotidiana. Su nueva condición de amante le traerá popularidad y también problemas: pondrá al descubierto los prejuicios y la falsa moral de un pueblo enceguecido que, para lavar sus culpas, cobrará venganza con la muerte del menos culpable.
