It is 1985 in a neighborhood in Buenos Aires, Argentina. One morning, four friends gather to listen to the military draft lottery, doing their best to spend the hours avoiding the subject. They know that, no matter how much they try to put it off or distract themselves, they are about to face a turning point in their lives—but they will face it together.
