Christian is a Copenhagen wine seller on the brink of bankruptcy. Equally unsuccessful in just about every other aspect of life, it has been 17months since his wife Anna left him. Anna works as a soccer agent in Buenos Aires and now lives a life of luxury with Argentina's top player Juan Diaz. Then one day Christian and their 16-year-old son Oscar get on a plane to Buenos Aires. Christian arrives under the pretense of wanting to sign the divorce papers, but in truth, he wants to try to win Anna back.

Two friends are looking to earn easy money by gathering people to help them deposit a large sum of money in a fixed term of seven days, to live on the interests, which are higher the greater the amount deposited. This has immediate consequences on the lifestyle of the characters, who are increasingly ambitious. Portrait of the Argentine middle class in full hyperinflation, when financial speculation was the order of the day by the man in the street.

Heriberto (Matías Santoiani) dreams of becoming an actor. He wins a contest to work on a film and leaves his small town for Buenos Aires. There he meets Cynthia (Claudia Albertario), the other winner, who will be his co-star in the film, and with whom he falls in love. But the contest turns out to be a scam for pornographic purposes. This failure depresses Cynthia, and Heriberto, still in love with her, tries to help her, but she leaves him and takes his savings.
