Overwhelmed by various problems in Montevideo, a couple in their thirties must move to a deserted beach resort on the Uruguayan coast. There they will not pay rent since an aunt lends them their magnificent house. What in principle seems like a true solution to your problems ends up not being so. Quite the contrary, this "idyllic" winter season on the beach, away from its natural environment, without much to do, will forever change the relationship between Claudia and Leandro.

Christmas Eve. The children ask for money for the Judas (Un Vintén pa’l Judas), and the protagonist, a failed tango singer without means or will to live, meets a friend, a public employee, in search of some rummage. This one asks him to buy a lottery. The tango singer, in need of money to buy a guitar to use in a singing contest, collects the winnings for himself, betraying the trust of his friend, in the same way as the Judas that the children burn on the streets.
