Two lovers returning home from a tryst strike a bicyclist on a lonely highway. Unseen and not wanting to get involved, they leave him to die. Back in Madrid, she is confronted by a friend of her husband. Although he is referring to seeing her with her lover, she thinks he witnessed the accident and plans to blackmail her. Meanwhile, her lover, a mathematics professor, begins to suffer from a guilty conscience which effects his job, eventually resigning when confronted by angry students. He convinces his girlfriend to confess, but tragic irony intercedes. Hitchcockian thriller starkly photographed in black and white.
