El tiempo encontrado

Three immigrants living in a Buenos Aires immersed in the profound economic, political, and social crisis that erupted in late 2001 and early 2002, where they are forced to constantly rethink their movements and reflect on what they were in their country of origin, what they are in this new land, and what their children will be here or there, somewhere in the global village.

Since the 1990s, a wave of new immigrants from the former Soviet Union has hit Argentina's borders. They lose their identity and, to a certain extent, their pride as they are forced to adapt to an unfamiliar language and an unwelcoming society. Vladimir is one of those immigrants; unemployed, he feels cheated by the supposed opportunities of the "free world," but at least he finds solace in the arms of a prostitute. Nevertheless, he feels compelled to make something of his life, even if he has to take advantage of others.

Alicia takes care of her quite elderly mother. A party is the opportunity for the ideal meeting that she wants.
