Pontius Branco is a ruthless businessman who relentlessly climbed the economic ladder, consumed by wealth. His wife, Bernarda, feels abandoned as he indulges in affairs between business deals, betraying her. A train arrives from France at 3:30 PM, carrying a young emigrant and her five-year-old daughter. The daughter confronts Pontius, demanding recognition for Libertina, a child he abandoned in Paris. Bernarda hires a private detective to find proof of Pontius's affair with a glamorous woman who aspires to own shops in a mall. Pontius, caught in this web of deceit, orchestrates a calculated crime that puzzles the police. The truth emerges only after the Seventh Day Mass, coinciding with a lunar eclipse.
