In the enchanting port of Valparaíso, an elderly and ailing sailor named Don Arnaldo (played by Rafael Benavente) lives in seclusion with his obedient and submissive son, El Gordo (played by Ernesto Beadle, with the voice of Roberto Poblete). Don Arnaldo controls all the movements in the house from his bed, using the mirrors hanging on the walls of his bedroom. However, El Gordo longs for freedom, which he finally finds after meeting Lucrecia (played by Gloria Münchmeyer). But this rebellion angers Don Arnaldo, who will stop at nothing to regain control over his son.
