Synopsis

Alex, a man in his 40s, has spent years living in Seattle, far from his native Argentina. Surrounded by the cold, impersonal atmosphere of corporate life and unsuccessful attempts at romantic connections, he finds himself adrift, longing for a sense of belonging that seems out of reach. After enduring personal losses and a growing sense of isolation, Alex decides to sell everything and return to Argentina, hoping to find solace and reconnect with his past.

Upon arriving in Córdoba, he faces the challenge of re-adapting to a familiar yet changed culture, battling with lingering feelings of alienation and the ghosts of his past. Friends and family welcome him back warmly, but they remain puzzled by the emptiness that haunts him. Through a series of encounters—both poignant and humorous—Alex slowly rebuilds his sense of self, finding unexpected comfort in unlikely places, including a transformative friendship with Felix, an eccentric and enigmatic artist.

As he navigates the complexities of his return, Alex learns that his search for home is less about a place and more about facing the wounds he's avoided for years. In the end, it's not about escaping the pain but embracing it as part of his story, allowing him to find a new sense of belonging in the present.
