A distinguished professor and seemingly normal man, Ramon, keeps a tidy basement, carefully hidden from the outside world. In this basement, he's given his "forced guest", Laura, the option of playing a word game with him. If she wins, he'll set her free. If he wins, she loses big. She may be his prisoner, but she's a formidable opponent even with her hands tied. (official distributor synopsis)
