Plot This black comedy revolves around the lives of ordinary individuals residing in González Catán, a working-class suburb situated southwest of Buenos Aires, as they grapple with the challenges of making ends meet. The story begins with Hernán assisting his brother and sister-in-law in preparing for their significant relocation to Spain. Fleeing the repercussions of Argentina's economic crisis, Hernán's parents are compelled to depart the country. Left on his own in the Buenos Aires suburbs, Hernán finds employment with a messaging agency, riding a small motorcycle to deliver messages. During a visit to a gas station, he encounters Pato, an attractive woman tending to the pumps. Impressed by Hernán's offer, Pato agrees to rent the room left vacant by his brother. Pato, a enigmatic young woman, becomes aware of Hernán's affection and reciprocates, albeit her motives are unclear. A surprising twist arises when Hernán returns home one evening to find that Pato's parents and her young daughter have moved in, catching him off guard. Venancio, Pato's slick and charismatic father played by Oscar Nuñez, extends gratitude to Hernán, who initially assumes their presence is temporary.
