An Indian Summer can be relentless, especially in October. At the end of the day people linger in the streets, as a fresh breeze relieves the day time heat. At the moment when day people go home and night people take over, the camera focuses on Victor (Gonzalo Heredia) a 19 year-old prostitute who starts his daily prowl for customers (As the evening progresses, Victor meets various characters that are part of his usual routine: a police official who screws him in his car as payment for protection, addicts in search of an extra dose, a buddy who introduces him into an elegant sauna club, the ambassador who gathers unlikely guests at a reception in his hotel suite, and finally a taxi driver, a former prostitute, who has inherited money from a late customer). But something out of the ordinary becomes gradually apparent. Unexplained violence seems to lurk everywhere and threaten Victor. But it is Halloween night and it is widely believed that on this date, the dead are allowed to come back to earth, to take them into the other world, where love can happen. But, as Victor slowly begins to reflect about his wild evening, he starts to realize which of the characters he encountered are either alive &or dead.
