Iván is a Spanish film producer who travels to Argentina with a single mission: to meet Carmen Trevilla, a cult director who is in the creative process of her new “video.” From minute zero, he feels captivated by her overwhelming and disconcerting presence. Although he still does not know if he is going to produce it – since he thinks that his cinema will not be well received by current European sensibilities – Iván takes advantage of every moment with Carmen to record, with his cell phone in his hand and an endless smile on his face, every adventure they embark on.

After an accident, Ana needs some metal prosthetics in one of her forearms. During her winter vacation, she notices something strange—as though her arm were an antenna, she begins to receive messages in morse code. This happens every day, but the frequency is different. With a little help from her friends, the young woman spends her days trying to decipher the enigmatic code coming from her body. Is it a song? A call from unthought-of places? Is it a game? Or a simple problem with the prosthetics? As she did in her short films, Ingrid Pokropek relies on fiction to tackle the shortcomings of early adolescence and pay tribute to Buenos Aires City’s geography. In Los tonos mayores, the fantastic barges in little by little, with the same conviction Ana enters the adventure of her life.

The film is set in the world of the “arbolitos", those characters that, planted along the Florida pedestrian street, offer tourists in Buenos Aires to buy their dollars at the best price. There takes place the life of a young man who is moved by the ambition to raise the money that allows him to improve his life in the shortest possible time, and that he will not hesitate to take the necessary risks to achieve it.
