Within the context of the uruguayan press, there's a group of people named "Perejiles". These attend launching parties, inaugurations and all other sorts of events within the uruguayan press with the purpose of free eating.

Montevideo, Uruguay. Jacobo Köller, el dueño de una modesta fábrica de calcetines, arrastra una vida gris y de una monotonía asfixiante. Su relación con Marta, su empleada de confianza, es estrictamente laboral y está marcada por el silencio y la rutina. Esta monotonía se ve súbitamente amenazada por el anuncio de la inesperada visita de Herman, el hermano de Jacobo, que vive en el extranjero, y con el que ha perdido contacto desde hace años. Es entonces cuando Jacobo le pide ayuda a Marta para afrontar una situación tan incómoda. Tres personalidades aparentemente inofensivas: tres clases de soledad.
