The story takes place in a tattooing salon in the old quarter of Barcelona. Through the salon's window, the beautiful Simona shows her tattooed body with movements based on ancient Asian dances. Her skin shows the best moments of her life when she lived in India with Francis, who created the intricate and artistic tattoo designs. Although Francis left her, Simona is still in love with him. But the Cuban-born Mariel, who owns the salon and is a friend of Francis, feels a deep and secret wish of reaching Simona's heart and would do anything for her... even stealing the money she needs to remove the tattoo art that covers her body and would thus erase Francis from her life.
