Luis, âgé d'environ 45 ans, est professeur dans une université mixte d'Espagne dans les années 1970. Lors de son dernier cours avant les vacances, il remarque deux étudiants, Julia et Miguel, occupés à regarder une carte routière. Après la fin du cours, alors qu'il rentre chez lui en voiture, Luis aperçoit les deux mêmes étudiants occupés à faire de l'auto-stop. Il s'arrête et les prend dans sa voiture, puis leur propose de dormir chez lui la nuit avant de reprendre leur route le lendemain. Célibataire, Luis vit dans une vaste demeure aux allures de manoir jouxtée d'un grand jardin : il est le dernier héritier d'une riche famille et donne des cours purement pour se distraire. Luis fait les honneurs de sa demeure à Julia et Miguel, notamment sa collection d'armes à feu et ses disques de Wagner. Luis leur présente Jaime, un homme d'une trentaine d'années, qui vit chez lui. Luis entretient visiblement une relation particulière avec Jaime, qui semble se comporter avec lui comme un serviteur avec son maître, sans se définir comme tel, et sans être non plus son ami. Après un repas succulent, Luis conduit les deux jeunes gens à une chambre à la décoration chargée où ils dormiront dans le même lit pour la première fois. Julia et Miguel font l'amour tandis que Luis et Jaime passent la soirée de leur côté.
