en el río manso

It is the year 1998 in Buenos Aires. Chino just turned 21 years old. He is an introverted young man who lives in a small apartment maintained by his parents. He left his Architecture career a few months ago and since then he has spent his time watching films of any kind in different cinema clubs. He lives with Franco, a young man a few years older than him who works on a supposed science fiction film with which he plans to win a contest. He spends his days filming inside the apartment with his camcorder while acting out scenes from the supposed script in a somewhat ridiculous way.

Manuel and his partner Sofía recreate moments from their life together by acting out scenes from their own lives. Like a voice from beyond, Marlon narrates the story of their imminent separation. Tegucigalpa, Buenos Aires, and Hamburg are the settings for this farewell.
