Raúl, an old and lonely foley artist, becomes obsessed with his neighbor, a woman he calls Lucy. He records her, collecting the sounds of her daily life, including the moment she throws her cheating husband out of her house. In her vulnerable and sad state, Raúl sees the perfect opportunity to further architect the sounds of Lucy’s life, building onto his imaginary, one-sided relationship with her. But when Lucy allows her husband to come back home, Raúl, delusionally in love with her, crosses the threshold of imagination into real life.
