Tres historias independientes enlazadas por un denominador común, el cuarto de un escritor en crisis imaginativa, donde las personas acuden a contar historias con la esperanza de convertirse en temas y personajes de novelas. En ese orden vamos descubriendo los singulares sucesos que ocurren en la película. Una versión de la obra de Boccaccio en ambiente citadino, un Decameron habanero; un filme lleno de sensualidad, desenfado, irreverencia y pasiones ocultas.
Después de la película habrá un conversatorio con el director Arturo Sotto.

In that order we discover the unique events that occur in the film. A version of Boccaccio's work in a city environment, a Havana Decameron; a film full of sensuality, ease, irreverence and hidden passions.
