A German actor comes to Montevideo looking for his wife. He is quite rude, speaks Spanish poorly, and has a talent for getting himself into trouble. A few hours after his arrival, he loses his way and runs into a group of young men who try to rob him. Pedro, an ex-addict in his forties, intervenes and helps him get away, giving him advice about how to get around. Along the way, the foreigner tells the story of his lost love to various strangers, and this is how he recruits Nelson, a laconic security guard whose wife has left him and who joins the German's quest as if it were his own. Together, and united by suffering, they set out on a journey through the suburbs of Montevideo. This film is an adventure in vandalism with a shot of bittersweet humor.
