Manuela (Cecilia Roth) saw her husband leave her before their son was born, becoming a single mother who moved to Madrid with her son Esteban. Her son knows nothing about his father, so Manuela tells him that his father has passed away. However, the son ultimately does not believe this. He secretly writes in his diary about missing his father. A car accident comes so suddenly, claiming the life of her son who was struck by an oncoming vehicle. The mother, heartbroken, decides to find her child’s father, Lola, to fulfill her son’s wish. However, she discovers that Lola has dressed as a woman, has become a prostitute, and has contracted AIDS. Even more unfortunately, the nun Rosa (Penélope Cruz) is pregnant with Lola's child. Manuela stays by Rosa’s side to take care of her, and the baby born to Rosa is named after her son Esteban. Finally, there is hope amid their suffering—the newborn miraculously escapes the fate of AIDS.
