In a dark and oppressive prison in Argentina, two men coexist in a cell, each dealing with the weight of their sentence in their own way. Valentin, a political activist, is the tough guy who fights for his ideals in an environment that crushes any ray of hope. On the other hand, Molina, a sensitive and dreamer homosexual, finds himself trapped between his love for cinema and the brutal realities of his surroundings. As time passes, the tensions between these two very different characters ease through conversation and the storytelling of Molina, who presents himself as the narrator of fascinating tales from Hollywood classics.
Molina uses his imagination and his love for film to escape the harsh reality, and his fantastical stories become a kind of refuge for both him and Valentin. Through this unexpected connection, the protagonists begin to explore their personal feelings, confronting their own fears and desires. As the political context becomes increasingly threatening, the bond between them deepens and transforms into something more than friendship: a kind of love that blossoms amid oppression.
The film unravels themes such as freedom, identity, and the struggle to survive in a world that constantly tries to silence discordant voices, all while interwoven with an air of magic and sadness that only cinema can offer.
