A film made up of four shorts which reflect on cinema, literature, theater, and representation. The first story, from Edgardo Cozarinsky, opens and closes with the director himself reading Mark Fisher and Barthes. The second one, from Santiago Loza, shows the student-teacher relationship between a young writer and an old one, who has some unorthodox teaching methods. Virginia Cosin’s chapter takes place at a party filled with people from the artistic-cultural circle and manages, through voiceover but mainly through the camera, to do a brief but exhaustive study of that world. Finally, Romina Paula presents a mise en abyme in the middle of a literary workshop.

In a small Argentinian backwater town, a young woman sets out on a solitary search for her sister who has disappeared without a trace.

Her journey drags her back to the river, where a silent witness seems to provide the only calm that’s left.

Esteban and Molly have been married for over twenty years. On a cold morning in June the couple realizes they have hit rock bottom and that their relationship is not what it once was.

Four young friends play hooky from class, and get locked in the school basement by the class snitch.

In a small town near a winter resort in the mountains of Argentina, Juana tries to commit suicide but ends up in a coma instead, to the great pain of her daughter Marta. Her other daughter Mercedes comes from Buenos Aires but is less interested in her mother's condition than in possibly getting some of her money. Marta's husband has a great offer for a piece of land owned by his mother-in-law, but can't do anything while she is in a coma. Marta's son wants to travel to Europe but has no money for the airfare, and his sister wants to finally have an orgasm so that she can become less tense and increase her chances of winning a local beauty contest which she hopes will be a springboard for a modeling career in Buenos Aires.
