Actors: Ricardo Bauleo, Gloria Prat, Aldo Barbero
PlotA mad scientist, determined to unlock the secret to eternal youth, engages in nefarious activities to support his twisted experiments. On a quest to understand the link between sex and vitality, he kidnaps various men and women, subjecting them to a bizarre and invasive procedure that harnesses their sexual energy. The captives are a mix of different types of people - ranging from dancers to couples - who are drawn into his isolated laboratory where they find themselves imprisoned.
The scientist's grotesque creation, a monstrous and pitiful creature who acts as an enforcer, oversees the prisoners and ensures that the scientist's demands are met. Throughout their ordeal, the kidnapped victims encounter an uncanny mix of horror, seduction, and relentless surveillance. Deprived of their freedom and haunted by the possibility of becoming permanent fixtures in the scientist's sinister project, they must find a way to escape or face the horrific consequences of their captor's ambitions for immortality. Meanwhile, a reporter starts to unravel the mystery behind the disappearances, drawing closer to the shadowy operation.
