In the late 90s in southern Chile, Margarita and Cucho work for "Southern Connection,"
selling cell phones door-to-door. Despite their challenging daily routines and encounters
with diverse characters, they receive recognition for their work. Margarita's personal life
involves her daughter, Clara, and her distant relationship with her religious mother,
Eduviges. Cucho contemplates resigning due to the challenges they face.
During a ceremony honouring their achievements, Margarita reveals her concerns about
leaving Clara with her mother, Eduviges. At the ceremony, as Margarita and Cucho
receive televisions as rewards, Eduviges struggles with a health issue at home. The VHS
of the Pope's visit becomes a symbol of unfulfilled desires for Eduviges.
After the ceremony, Cucho drunkenly interrupts the stage, and Margarita takes care of
him. The next day, Cucho discovers the televisions in his car, left by Margarita. In a phone
conversation, she explains her departure, acknowledging Cucho was right, and
expresses gratitude for their friendship. Margarita, atop a mountain, rejects her cell
phone, embracing her daughter, Clara, suggesting there are valid reasons for choosing a
life of disconnection.
