An Argentinian drama that tells the story of Freddy, an illegal immigrant who has left Bolivia, his home and his family to try his luck in Argentina, where he hopes to build a future in which they can be reunited. He lands a job as a cook in a restaurant where the owner is happy to flout the law in order to secure cheap labor and where Freddy meets the characters that will change the course of his life - a Paraguayan waitress, a traveling salesman from the province of C�rdoba, two Buenos Aires -porte�o- taxi drivers and one of the driver's buddies. The interactions between Freddy, his co-workers and the regular clientele unfold into a low key but deeply humane drama in which prejudice and discrimination are commonplace, and rare glimpses of warmth all the more precious because of this. The film explores issues of xenophobia and social violence in Argentina.
