Marta wanted to become a pilot. After an accident, she is paralysed from the waist down. For her birthday she gets an electric wheelchair and a lame boat trip. She wants to end her life on the boat, but her travelling companions keep messing things up. Marta is thwarted by a spastic admirer, a terminal Jehovah’s witness and a paralysed hairdresser in this black comedy full of crap, vomit, sex and impertinent jokes.
After the theft of his motorcycle, Lucio bums aimlessly around Buenos Aires drifting from one arcade and record store to the next, indulging in short chats with friends and, more often, setting out onto the streets alone.
