Why is death and violence so fascinating? Is it morally correct to show violence in movies? If so, is there a limit to what we should show? That's the subject of Ángela's examination paper. She is a young student at a film school in Madrid. Together with the student Chema (who is totally obsessed with violent movies) they find a snuff movie in which a young girl is tortured and killed.

Fascinated and, at the same, repulsed by violence, the young graduate student of communication sciences, Ángela, prepares her thesis on a controversial subject: the exploitation of brutality on visual media. Before long--as Ángela starts her research project in the university's audiovisual archives, searching for hideous images or videos depicting human suffering--she unearths a dust-covered videotape of what appears to be the epitome of a repulsive underground film genre: an appallingly genuine snuff film. Now, as blood stains the faculty, only Ángela's reluctant friend--the gore-obsessed horror aficionado, Chema--can help her shed light on the gruesome death of the movie's protagonist, as, more and more, she fears that she could be next.
