A country boy tries to find his place in Buenos Aires. He goes to live with his cousin in the outer suburbs and works as a parapalos ("pin setter") in one of the city's last hand-operated bowling alleys.

One day in 1930, José Américo Ghezzi ("Bepo")—an unemployed anarchist stonemason—leaves his hometown, not to return until 1955. For twenty-five years, he wanders with no direction other than the path of the railway tracks, joining the silent world of the "crotos"—itinerant laborers—where he meets "the Frenchman," a mentor who leaves an indelible mark on his life. Back home, his friends and a woman await him, weaving the fabric of their own lives. Sixty years later, facing the camera, he relives his romances and his worldview in a kind of collage of perspectives and dreams, centered on the fundamental question: "Is freedom possible?"

A young boy dreams and draws about an apparently fictional father figure. He materializes in real life, starring surrealist and colorful scenarios.

Ani, an apprentice hairdresser who loses her job meets Danilo, a forty-something street scissors sharpener.

This documentary tells the tale of Buenos Aires lesbians, focusing on three personal stories. A former militant woman who now devotes her time to feminine soccer; a young woman who is active so no girl has to go through what she went through and a lesbian mother who recounts how hostile the laws are regarding the rights of lesbian women. In spite of the difficulties their characters go through, the stories have a lot of humour, some soccer and a tour of the city.
