In 1976, a 19-year-old actress becomes a symbol of scandal when she starts her career in The Smoking Fish, delivering the first-ever nude scene in Venezuelan cinema.

As she embarks on the remake's production, her personal life spirals into a passionate affair with the married director and a complicated romance with the young male protagonist. Life and art intertwine as her real-world turmoil mirrors the love triangle she portrays on screen.
