A German actor lands in Montevideo. Rude and speaking very little Spanish, he gets himself in trouble: only a few hours after his arrival, he gets lost and runs into a group of young men who try to rob him.

Driven by childhood memories and the hope of a reencounter, Sarah visits her paternal grandmother in her village in Uruguay. She takes long to understand the prevailing unease… But she is soon faced with the gap between her fantasy regarding the place of origin and that village of old people forgotten by Modernity where the heat is overwhelming and the days seem to last forever. Cultural shock, humor, tenderness and sadness give shape to this bitter-sweet film.
