In a story both tender and absurd, Sebastián drifts through a life shaped by work, chance, and quiet companionship. After losing his job, he moves from one temporary role to another, forming brief connections that leave lasting traces. Shot in black and white, this film unfolds as a series of everyday moments that gradually shift in tone and form. A meditation on memory, loss, and human connection, the film finds meaning in the small gestures that shape a life. Best Latin American Film, Best Argentinian Director, ARGENTORES Award, 2021 Mar del Plata International Film Festival; VPRO Big Screen Award, 2021 International Film Festival Rotterdam; Ibero American Competition, 2021 Seattle International Film Festival; Best Screenplay, 2021 Havana Film Festival New York.
