In a small rural town on the outskirts of Buenos Aires, a man lives crushed by loneliness, unable to bear the feeling of being alive. Clinging to miracles, he becomes obsessed with the figure of Jesus and desires to become him.

Nine-year-old Milo lives in a remote Argentinian village where he studies the Malambo, a folk dance full of bravura. He is an excellent dancer, but Milo’s only desire is to escape the countryside on a train for the Buenos Aires of his dreams.
