Description:
In 1999, Argentina experiences a severe economic crisis. Ariel, a young man from Buenos Aires' Jewish community, navigates his mother’s declining health while working the night shift monitoring security cameras and contemplating his first sexual experience. Santamaria, a middle-aged man, loses his job and his wife, leading him to anonymously return stolen wallets to their owners. Ariel shares Santamaria’s story with a TV reporter, Laura, who is in a relationship but may be open to connection. Ariel is drawn to Laura, while Santamaria pursues Elsa, a washroom attendant whose husband is incarcerated. As Christmas and Hanukkah arrive, the film explores whether any of these individuals can find connection.
