Eduardo, a middle-aged man, receives news that compels him to abandon everything and return to his hometown in Patagonia. He longs to reconnect with his girlfriend of twenty years, whose love he foolishly sacrificed to face life from that point forward. His childhood, his family, the consequences of Argentina's fragmentation during that era (Perón's fall in the fifties, the dictatorship of the seventies, the devastation of the nineties). His deepest affections, his sorrows, his fears resurface in memories of those years as if they were the causes of the destiny he imposed upon himself, transforming him into who he is; placing him at the beginning—which is also the end—of a futile life disguised as success.

Recently escaped from reformatory, Reinaldo struggles to get by in the streets of Havana in the late 90s, one of the worst decades for Cuban society. Hopes, disillusionment, rum, good humor and above all hunger, accompany him in his wanderings, until he meets Magda and Yunisleidy, survivors like himself. In one or the other's arms, he will try to escape the material and moral misery surrounding him, living love, passion, tenderness and uninhibited sex to the limit.
