A number of intertwined stories at the end of the 20th century in a Buenos Aires crossed by bar philosophers, street hustlers, confused young people and men who kidnapped and tortured citizens during the last dictatorship and now move undercover. Disoriented young people, two of them the children of parents who were disappeared during the last dictatorship, intertwine their lives with adults, leading the action to an ending as dramatic as it is symbolic of Argentina’s recent past, whose effects endure in the thoughts and actions of the protagonists.
