A remote village 100 kilometers from the city of Buenos Aires. Stephen, Matías, Alejo, Damián and Guido were born 13 years ago in this small town. They have always been friends and together they share the monotonous summer afternoons sitting on the stoop of a women's hairdresser. Anxious, restless, impatient for a change, they go through the most confusing period of experiment -- the transition from childhood to adolescence.

Five friends escape to a nearby island for a long weekend, where clashes over feminism, inclusive language, ambition, and purpose force them to reevaluate their bonds.

Tomás is a teenager whose life, as always happens, changed from one moment to the next. But that present awakens a latent past that must be resolved in order to face the uncertain future.

Rita does makeup and prepares Consuelo, who carefully reviews the details of that last act of flirtation. In the privacy of her room, she says goodbye like all the elders of this town, where death is just another moment in life, an event announced and expected.

A lonely and frustrated old woman offers a young student a deal that is difficult to fulfill: a house and food in exchange for a fluid daily conversation.

Peter, a young German, enters a suburban Buenos Aires restaurant; seeking only directions, he instead accidentally ends up with a plate smashing into his head, thrown by the irritable Olinda, the 60 year-old Italian immigrant owner of the restaurant. The two develop a friendship once they discover that the reasons for their having moved to Argentina are strikingly similar.

Damián, an 11-year-old boy who is separated from his violent family, is taken to live in a children's home by state intervention. Accompanied by Leandro, a social worker with a personal story similar to his, Damián will have to accept that his previous life is behind him and will not return, but it is still possible to build a new beginning where there is room to not feel so alone.
