A satirical comedy about cultural misunderstanding and manufactured authenticity that finds genuine human connection amid the absurdity of media-driven ambition.

A misguided American documentary crew working for an edgy media company travels to rural Argentina to profile a local musician, but their ineptitude leads them into the wrong small town. As they collaborate with locals to attempt to fabricate a viral trend, unexpected connections blossom, while a pervasive crisis looms unacknowledged in the background.
