In a bleak dystopian future, Elena, a kind young woman decides to accompany Javier, a withdrawn office worker, inside a small Mexico City restaurant. Almost by chance, both believe they have found her ideal companion, causing Javier an urgency to invite Elena back to his house to continue their evening together. Before leaving, Elena reveals to Javier that she is a 'Synthetic' (an organic android), unleashing a night that goes from being a "perfect date", to being like all the other nights of this future: revealing the worst side of humanity through Javier, but surprisingly, the best as creators through Elena.
