Following three skaters in Mar Del Plata, an old resort town in Argentina, a discreetly rendered portrait of a town with a passé charm, and of graceful and melancholic youth.

An hypnotic musical with ghosts, young skaters, a "cumbiópera" in three acts and an epilogue. A ballet of visages, gazes, desire, love, drama, tragedy and shooting.

The Felpetos have managed a clandestine lottery business for decades. The family enterprise operates in a small housing development. Maribel leads a crew of clerks who log the bets from her living room. Alejandra, her mother, lives in an identicalhouse just a few meters away, which serves as the administrative office. Some lotto bankers have been raided lately, and the atmosphere in the neighborhood has become strage since. There has been talk about police dismissals and big-money movements. Nobody can tell what is true from the rumors or the news on TV
