Synopsis

Ariel, a shy Jewish boy who lives with his father, is unable to move fluently and continually considers his identity. On the other hand, there is Santamaría, a birth banker who loses his job and becomes a sort of homeless man who collects documents in the trash. Both and a gallery of supporting characters will mix and change their lives forever.
