As demonic forces descend on Argentina, the world’s best hope is confined to an insane asylum, powerless to avert a dark resurrection. The once legendary warlock Antonio Poyju (Germán De Silva) is haunted by the mistakes of his past, and is now reduced to rebelling against orderlies in an institution.
When a malevolent demonic force reveals itself, Poyju must rally a ragtag ensemble of certifiable inmates to spring him from his confinement, so that he can reconcile with his estranged daughter Helena (Lorena Vega) and reunite their magical bloodline to stave off the evil.

The series begins with Manuel hiring two new employees—his childhood friend Sergio and a extremely aggresive and resentful tennis teacher—and follows the entanglements between these characters, their feelings and, most often than not, their frustration at their inability to properly express them.Read More »

The new work by the gifted Gustavo Fontán (El árbol, La madre, La casa) concerns a man sailing alone on the Parana River.
