A melancholic portrait of displacement and economic hardship, following an immigrant's struggle to build a life far from home in an indifferent city.

Freddy emigrates to Buenos Aires in search of a more prosperous life. In his native country, Bolivia, he left his family. But the capital of Argentina is not the paradise he dreamed of, and much less for illegal immigrants like himself. But even with that, he gets a job as a griller in a restaurant.
