SYNOPSIS
Cetarti, a public employee that has just been fired, travels from Buenos Aires to Lapachito, a
solitary town in the Chaco province. He has to take care of the corpses of his mother and brother
who have been brutally murdered, and whom he had no emotional bond with. The only thing that
motivates Cetarti to make the trip is the possibility of cashing a small life insurance in order to be
able to move to Brazil. At Lapachito, he meets Duarte, a sort of don who runs the town and who is
friends with his mothers murderer. Duarte and Cetarti form a strange alliance to process and cash
the insurance money.
However, Cetarti´s stay in Lapachito will not be uncomplicated. In that place with no law, where
nothing is what it seems, he will become entagled in Duarte´s shady business, until he gets to an
outcome as surprising as inevitable.
