A journey through the memory of the Suquía, a gloomy river, full of desperation and resentment from its people. Like the Nile, the Seine and the Ganges, this river has much to whisper about the city that it has seen grow upon its banks.

Pelu is a thirty-something who barely survives on his salary as a projectionist at a municipal film club. After losing his job, he agrees to stay on as a night watchman and ends up living secretly inside the cinema, accompanied by the films he reviews every night.

A landguard and his son go on patrol in a border area, where an invisible danger looms.

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.

A poor boy decides to stop being a poor boy and, together with his friend, tries to run away taking a bag full of money from his boss. The last night in his hometown is a review by way of farewell to the two friends for the places, the emotion and the songs that marked their lives.

A young man roams the city of Córdoba in his motorbike. A female friend remembers him.
