Synopsis
Daniel Montero (Tomás Fonzi) is seventeen years old and has a nightly ritual: watching the program of the hottest porn star of the moment. So, when he wins a contest to spend a night with Sabrina Love (Cecilia Roth), he feels like he's reached heaven itself. Sabrina awaits him at the television studio in Buenos Aires. Daniel embarks on his journey from Curuguazú, the small provincial town where he has lived with his grandmother ever since his parents died. His life there is marked by exasperating boredom, an unpleasant job at the town's meatpacking plant, and the periodic floods that cut him off from the rest of the world.
Like those heroes who venture out into the world and discover themselves along a meandering and unpredictable path, Daniel encounters a colorful cast of characters who will help him mature through both wise and deceptive guidance: Carmelo, the nocturnal poet who frequents the city's bars; Enrique, Daniel's changed brother who remains unaware of their parents' deaths; Sofia, a young woman who seduces him one Saturday night; and, of course, the enigmatic Sabrina Love, accompanied by her entourage of producers and colleagues from the porn film industry. Thanks to them, Daniel experiences the city, explores his sexuality, and encounters love in the most unexpected ways.
