The film narrates three stories, which take place in the poor periphery of Salta, Argentina. Aside from a similar social situation, the different protagonists share the same view of life beyond any experience of success or progress. Every protagonist is going to experience a personal development to an at first sight invisible, positive change. As well, the necessity of living according to one's own personal values is playing a big role. One of the episodes, for instance, deals with a very poor family, who is winning a brand-new car at a competition. However, the pleasure about it is not lasting very long, as the question comes up on how to keep up the vehicle.
