In the Mediterranean coast, waves of "illegal aliens" keep arriving from Africa, pursuing their legitimate right to a better life. In a neighborhood by the port of Valencia, two characters fated to come together each face their own struggles. Berta, a pretty nurse of fragile looks but strong personality, haunts pick-up joints in search of the pleasures she has not yet given up. Eduardo, a police inspector who is new to the city, drowns in alcohol the despair brought on by his job and his illness. They meet and fall desperately in love. Berta has devoted the best years of her life to her niece and two nephews, following her sister's death. Berta's love affair is jeopardized, however, by the criminal behavior of the three youngsters. Her niece Lucia is in love with a scoundrel involved in a gang that smuggles immigrants into Europe. her nephews, Guillermo and Raul, belong to a violent band of skinheads. One night Omar, a man from Senegal, is brutally beaten, the police investigation headed by Inspector Moris adds yet another obstacle to the complicated relationships among all characters, proving that both life and the sea are full of sharks.
