At a film festival, a filmmaker tries to figure out what the jury is looking for in order to win the award. But the fear of failure threatens to ruin more than just his career, while the search for recognition throws his own desires into crisis.

During the last military dictatorship, the secondary school sank into a fog of silences and complicities; and in that fog, the collective dream of many students was also lost. 1978, the perfect reminder of high school is the gymnastics playground and the Physical Education teacher. The Green Team was formed with those of us who didn't make the normal teams: Cristina, Elvira and myself. We were the first litter of young people without collective projects that followed the genocide, the design teens that the military longed for. Do we belong to a generation? Or did we just come later?

Sonia is a former militant of the Montoneros. In the 1970s she was a militant in the JP in the western suburbs of Greater Buenos Aires. She begins her journey to the West, to the past, searching and wondering what remains of that revolutionary practice in the very territory where it was tried and failed. But his initial intention fails and he finds, instead, other things: an unexpected balance and demand from the children of that unbeatable generation; the discovery that in the West there were almost no survivors left, due to a particular form of repression; and the most important thing: he discovers his profound need for reflection in order to bring to an end the most intense and tragic stage of his life.

Llamarada wonders "what if a solar storm similar to the one that occurred in 1859, called the Carrington event, happened in our technology-dependent world today?" A personal and cinematographic journey, introspective and cathartic, of a film editor who suffers from power outages in Buenos Aires and who enters a future and near dystopia.
