In this modern retelling of the classic Bluebeard fairy tale, the story unfolds within the confines of a luxurious Parisian apartment where a mysterious and wealthy Spanish nobleman, Don Elemirio Nibal y Milcar, resides. He is known for his peculiar habit of hiring female roommates who mysteriously disappear. The narrative takes a twist when Saturnine, a young and independent woman, becomes his latest tenant. As she navigates the opulent yet eerie environment, she is drawn into a psychological game of wits with her enigmatic landlord, challenging the boundaries of curiosity, trust, and the dark secrets that lie behind closed doors.
