Two characters who must share their humanity in the face of death.

ELLA is a single middle-class woman, approximately 40 years old. She has never been married or had children. She has had a few relationships, but is now alone. She was given her name by her mother, who loved literature and music, and was particularly fond of Ella Fitzgerald.

ULISSES is almost 20 and was born in a poor suburb in the outskirts of town. His mother and father were robbers, and he found himself with a gun in his hand at a very young age. His dream was to be a musician. He did time in a youth detention centre at a young age and later in prison. He has a girlfriend, Suzana, who is a stripper in a downtown nightclub.
