MOVIE SUMMARY
Julio, the only son of a wealthy businessman, living in the
coastal city of Avilés in the north of Spain, is a young man with
many problems, including a pathological fear of women due to a
psychological trauma he suffered during his childhood. One night, as
he prowls the sleazier quarters of the city, he picks up a
prostitute and follows her to a seedy hotel room. As she tries to
arouse him to action, he responds violently, garroting her with a
length of piano wire, leaving her dead on the bed, covered with
blood.
