David, a young middle-class Jewish man—corpulent, gay and afraid of flying—returns to Buenos Aires from Europe for the funeral of his uncle. On his return, David learns that his mother has decided to disconnect his father's respirator, the only thing that has kept him alive for years. David will oscillate between living in close quarters with his mother, alienated by the pain of the imminent loss of her husband, and a voracity to fill his existential anguish, occupying his hours learning to drive, seeking low-cost medical treatments, and trying to have sex with any man who shows him a little attention.

REVIEWS

“A marvel, chaotic, sweet and sour, emotional and purely detailed..." – Spanglish Cinema

“Brings this somewhat mournful portrait to a quietly moving grace note suggesting the silver lining of loss is a motivational reminder to the living.” – Ioncinema

"A tender tribute to the misfits, to those who, from their peripheral and marginal position, see the world better than the winners.”– Troiscouleurs
