Two friends just find any temporary jobs to get by. One of them quits his job as a waiter to move to work as a messenger; the other is working as a taxi driver. The messenger, in his comings and goings at night, go through many offices, private homes and bars and will be in the most varied situations: some of them dark, sometimes sinister and pathetic and some even pleasant.

Lluc, a former academic with strong cultural ties, and Olli, a man who drifted from Finland to the streets of Barcelona, meet while seeking shelter in the same stairwell. Their beginnings are modest, but gradually a connection develops between them, based not on pity but on shared humanity.
