Marcos is an 18-year old living with his older brother and parents, Carlos and Olga, on a rented cattle ranch. Marcos has stolen various female clothes and attends a local carnival dressed as his female alter-ego, Marilyn. There, he dances with the son of a local rancher, who recognises who Marilyn is and feels embarrassed. As Marcos leaves the carnival and heads home, he is stopped by the rancher's son and raped. After Marilyn arrives home the next morning, Olga is furious at her child's activities and destroys all the female clothes that he possesses.
