A man steals his wife's diamond ring and sells it to buy a pinball. Three friends travel to the coast to buy a pinball but are scammed and receive unexpected help. A woman accidentally kills her lover, disposes of his body, and later learns that he might have diamonds on top of him. Three absurd stories of love and crime around the popular machines.

Despite his long-term relationship, Ernesto also has a fleeting romance with a blonde. Only when he is in danger of losing Paula, through his constant flirting with other women, does he see the consequences of his immature behaviour. In a calm tempo, with meticulous camerawork, the film subtly evokes a mood of nostalgia for a carefree adolescence from which Ernesto and his friends have difficulty taking their leave.
