A man and a woman live on the same street in Buenos Aires without ever meeting each other.

Thirty-somethings Martin and Mariana are both lost, phobic and anxious. They each live alone on the same street in Buenos Aires, managing to regularly cross paths without ever actually meeting. They both search for meaning in their lives and someone to share it with. The big city, with its many options for entertainment, new technologies promising fast, and easy & quasi-permanent communication, isolates people more than it brings them together. Making a connection, letting a chance meeting make its magic, seems almost impossible in this world that is both modern and lacking in human quality.

Gustavo Taretto's film is a bittersweet generational story set in post-crisis Argentina, where an impoverished and neurotic middle class is haunted by the meaning of our civilization. This is neither innovative nor particularly moving, but it's a story well told, with sufficient humor and sincerity.
