Buenos Aires bank employee Morán (Daniel Eliás) dreams up a scheme to liberate himself from corporate monotony: he’ll steal enough money to support a modest retirement, then confess and serve prison time while his co-worker holds on to the cash. Soon under pressure by a company investigator, accomplice Román (Esteban Bigliardi) heads to a remote rural idyll to hide the funds. There, he encounters a mysterious woman who will transform his life forever.

Beguiling, unpredictable and often funny, this Cannes breakout reinvents the heist film as a free-flowing adventure like no other, melding the existential and the playful to explore the nature of freedom itself.
