Short synopsis: Roberto is the eccentric owner of a hardware store and a notorious loner. He prefers collecting peculiar newspaper articles to social interaction. When he bumps into Jun, his life is turned upside down. Jun is Chinese, does not speak a word of Spanish and just arrived in Argentina. Roberto sees himself forced to help the young Chinese, but he only wants one thing: to get rid of the annoying guest as soon as possible. While searching for Jun's relatives, however, his own life is not spared from changes either.
