The following information is provided by Miho from Japan:

Three men, Pedro, Andores (Antonio), and Diego all suffer from lack of money. They plan a bank robbery. They rob a bank and take two people who happen to be there as hostages. One is a young wife named Julia, another is an old man named Louis. The three men confine the hostages in a room, set a special bomb near the hostages, and warn police not to do anything to arrest them. Police are trying hard to find them and keep the hostages safe at the same time. Meanwhile, Andores is shocked by setting a bomb. Since he joined the plan because he thought no one would be hurt, he is very confused and insists on setting the hostages free. Diego is a very cold person and has no feeling about the hostages' lives. Pedro, who made the bomb, is not so cold as Diego. So quarrels occur, Diego vs. Andores and Pedro. Diego shoots Andores. Seeing this, Pedro stabs Diego with a knife. After Diego dies, Andores is carried to the hospital, asking Pedro to set the hostages free. Pedro does so. By this time, police have found the room where the hostages are locked up. They rush into the room and find Pedro, stabbed in the back with an ice pick. The young woman hostage killed him after she was untied. The name of the film comes from the fact that peoples' lives are combined like a puzzle.
