The story

Paulina Escobar is a housewife married to a prominent lawyer, Gerardo, in an unnamed South American country, which is implied to be Chile.

Paulina is convinced that Miranda was part of the old regime and that he tortured and raped her for weeks while she was blindfolded.

They write up a false confession and present it to Paulina, but she becomes enraged and deems Miranda unrepentant, threatening to kill him.
