Plot

The musical band Los Tigres del Norte record an album. During the recordings, one of the members watches the film Vagabunda on television. Afterwards, he gets involved in a love affair with a woman with a dark past. At the end, it is revealed that the events of the film were a dream that the bandmember had after having fallen asleep while watching Vagabunda, whose plot is similar to his affair with the woman from his dream.
