Ariel, a 50-year-old cartoonist with five kids and aging parents, faces a mid-life crisis, complicated by a hernia. His physical limits force him to reflect on freedom, family duties, and what matters most.

A man in his thirties does not want to be like his father, but that seems to be unavoidable.

In Buenos Aires, the twenty-something Jewish-Argentinean Ariel Makaroff ditches the University of Architecture and spends his time wandering through the downtown gallery where his mother has a lingerie shop and his brother runs an importation business. Ariel has never understood why his father left him when he was a baby, but when his dad returns to Argentina, that will soon change.
