주택가에 주차되어 있는 최고급 사륜구동에 한 청년이 문을 따고 들어온다. 이것저것 닥치는 대로 훔치고 오줌까지 갈긴 후 나가려고 하자… 문이 잠긴 채 열리지 않고 총을 쏴 봐도 총탄도 튕겨난다. 꼼짝없이 며칠을 갇혀 탈진한 그에게 차주의 목소리가 들려온다.

Tren (20), his girlfriend Drama (18) and their friends Trucas (19), Mico (16) and Weed (17), are youths who live on the outskirts of Mexico City. Through graffiti art, dancing, music and song, they have a good time imitating their idols in music, dance and television, dreaming of someday being great figures in show business. They gather at the F.B.I., which holds dance and graffiti contests, and which is also frequented by el Loco (28) and his gang of small time drug dealers in the barrio. At the same time, Tren’s brother Nuk (43) returns home after 23 years. Nuk finds the environment changed, with all the evils of society, only now they are stronger than when he left.

Luis Alberto Spinetta, perhaps the most poetic musician of Argentine rock, bleeds each one of his songs in the heat of Democratic Argentina in the mid-eighties.
