Norman (Noël Burton) is a lonely university professor who teaches a class about silent film. He finds a wife through an Internet service and, after some strained interactions, his Mexican bride, Gladys (Vanessa Bauche), agrees to move in with him -- if her mother, Fernanda (Susana Salazar), is allowed to join them as well. Norman agrees, and the arrangement seems workable, until he begins spending more and more time with Fernanda. Eventually, an unexpected love triangle develops.
