Home Renovation Begins

In the peaceful setting of the Spanish countryside, middle-aged couple Héctor and Clara embark on a journey to renovate their home. This process begins as they look forward to transforming their living space into something special.

Héctor's Curious Observation

While Clara is out shopping, Héctor indulges his curiosity by using binoculars to explore the forest behind their property. He is drawn to a young woman who is carelessly unaware of the dangers that lurk around her.

The Shock of Discovery

Héctor's curiosity turns to horror when he discovers the young woman lying naked and unconscious on the ground. This unsettling scene shatters the tranquil atmosphere of the countryside, filling him with dread.

Assault by the Bandaged Man

Suddenly, the peace is disrupted when a mysterious man, concealed in bloody bandages, violently attacks Héctor, stabbing him in the arm. This shocking turn of events thrusts Héctor into a fight for survival.

Seeking Refuge

Desperate and wounded, Héctor seeks refuge in an enigmatic building nearby. In this strange haven, he makes contact with a scientist via walkie-talkie, who warns him about the danger posed by the bandaged man outside.

Time Travel Experience

Following the scientist's instructions, Héctor is convinced to enter a remarkable mechanical contraption. After activating it, he is stunned to find himself thrust back in time by nearly an hour, now labeled as 'Héctor 2.'

The Reckless Decision

Disregarding the scientist’s advice to remain inactive, Héctor 2 takes matters into his own hands. This leads him to once again encounter the young woman from the forest, reigniting all previous events and chaos.

Injured in Pursuit

In a reckless bid to pursue the woman, Héctor 2 encounters a van that sends him crashing off the road. As he struggles to regain his bearings, he sustains a head injury and wraps his wound with a blood-stained bandage.

A Repeat of Tragedy

Héctor 2 inadvertently orchestrates events to repeat his earlier actions, resulting in the woman once again lying unconscious. In a frantic moment, he confronts his former self, Héctor 1, leading to another stabbing incident.

Ghostly Pursuit

Returning home, Héctor 2 hears a scream, prompting him to chase a woman throughout the house. In a shocking turn of events, he witnesses her tragic fall from the roof, believing he bears responsibility for her death.

Manipulating Fate

Desperate to change the outcome, Héctor 2 communicates again with the scientist. He cleverly guides Héctor 1 into a trap by fabricating warnings about lurking danger, all while seeking to alter his fate.

The Emergence of Héctor 3

Upon learning of the existence of Héctor 3, the new version of himself sent to impede his own disastrous path, Héctor 2 is sent back in time once more. This transformation marks yet another layer of complexity in their intertwined destinies.

A New Attempt to Save

As Héctor 3 tries to steer events toward a better outcome, he faces the realization that he is still trapped in a looping nightmare. Despite his intentions, he fails in preventing a disastrous collision that renders him unconscious.

Realization of the Loop

Upon regaining consciousness, Héctor 3 finds himself reliving events while encountering the woman, who screams in fear, oblivious to their history. With the knowledge of the fateful loop weighing on him, he resolves to ensure her survival.
