Argentina, 1976. With the beginning of the military dictatorship, a young police officer is accused of belonging to the ERP guerrilla group. He is tortured by his former colleagues and held as a political prisoner for two years. He survives the brutal prison conditions and is released on parole, but a few months later decides to escape the country. Denmark grants him asylum, and he lives in Copenhagen for fifteen years. When he returns, now a democratic country, he discovers that some of those who tortured him were not only still police officers but high-ranking officials.

A divorced taxi driver shows up with a black eye at the home of his ex-wife’s new family; he’s been invited to dinner and he desperately wants to reconnect with his young daughter. A professional magician’s car breaks down and he ends up spending an emotionally intense night with a young, widowed toll booth worker. A singer songwriter serving a lengthy prison sentence is released for one night to perform at a local community centre. These three deeply engaging stories about yearning for connection unfold in parallel, one New Year’s Eve in a small town in central Uruguay, balancing the universality of human suffering with a powerful sense of hope.
