The story unfolds through the twists and turns of a strange curse attributed to a jewel that, passed from hand to hand, carries a deadly destiny. Its theme spans the three countries where it was filmed (Spain, Mexico, and Argentina), beginning in Spain and then moving to Mexico. The jewel, which takes on the character of another figure in the narrative as it travels through different parts of the world, arrives in Buenos Aires. The film ultimately presents the jewel's final destination in Mexico, where its owner dies, like others who were also marked by its malevolent influence.
