Storia
Gregorio, a 22-year-old schizophrenic man, plans an elaborate revenge scheme after discovering that his girlfriend Tania cheated on him with his best friend Manuel. Having been in and out of mental hospitals for years, Gregorio's mental state worsens upon learning about the affair. Despite appearances of reconciliation when he is discharged from the hospital, Gregorio ultimately commits suicide. Posthumously, Manuel receives a box containing Gregorio's notes, lyrics, and other personal items. Strange occurrences begin: unsigned letters quoting Gregorio's writings are sent to Manuel, and he starts hearing excerpts from these letters in conversations and media, leading him to question his own sanity.
