He befriends Manolo, an old man with a large house in the country. Fernando meets and is enchanted by Manolo's four daughters, Rocio, Violeta, Clara and Luz. Each of the first three is beautiful, and represents a different aspect of feminine sexuality; the youngest, an ugly duckling, represents naïveté;. As he meets each of the first three one by one, he falls in love and has sex with each of them, determining to marry but with each one a complication arises.
