Pablo and Tina have complicated sexual lives. Pablo writes and directs plays and films; he's gay and deeply in love with Juan, a young man who won't reply to Pablo's affection or letters. Pablo's sibling Tina is a transsexual, angry at men, raising Ada, and trying to make it as an actress. Pablo takes up with Antonio, a youth who becomes jealous of Pablo's love for Juan. Antonio seeks out Juan, and violence leads to Pablo's grief and a temporary loss of memory. When memory returns, he learns that Antonio has taken up with Tina. In horror, he hurries to Tina's rescue and must face Antonio and his desire.
"La Ley del Deseo es un caos entretenido, aunque no necesita los clásicos elementos del thriller en los que finalmente se apoya. (...) funciona mejor cuando deja a esos vivos personajes en movimiento; en cambio, empeora cuando se descubre la convencional estructura narrativa."
