The movie is set during the Dirty War in the 1970s Buenos Aires, Argentina, where the military government is abducting those opposed to its rule. Cecilia, a dissident journalist, is kidnapped by the secret police to join the ranks of the 'disappeared'. As her husband Carlos, a theatre director, searches frantically for her, he develops psychic power that enables him to predict the future, hence being able to witness what happens to his wife and other detainees.

The movie has graphic images of suffering such as the rape and torture scenes of Cecilia and her daughter Teresa.
