A nocturnal portrait of a man adrift in Buenos Aires's nightlife, chasing transient pleasure and connection through drugs, sex, and casual encounters.

Martin moves around Buenos Aires at night, picking up guys, going to clubs, scoring drugs and having sex. Sometimes he’s paying and sometimes his trans sex-worker friend or another woman takes him along for a threesome.
