Seventeen-year-old Vera (Luciana Grasso) appears to be an ordinary, well-behaved teenager dividing her days between high school classes and volleyball practice. Behind her quiet facade, however, she harbors a lucrative secret side hustle: she steals keys from her distracted real estate broker mother (Inés Estévez) and secretly rents out vacant apartments to local high schoolers who need a private venue for sexual encounters.
While her young clients use the rooms for a few hours, Vera remains quietly behind closed doors inside the apartments. Listening silently to their intimate interactions, Vera embarks on her own voyeuristic, auditory journey of sexual awakening. As her secret hobby deepens, she begins exploring her own unspoken romantic and physical desires—including her burgeoning attraction to both male and female peers.
