01 / THE STORY
The story follows three different persons travelling the Argentine Patagonia: Don Justo (Antonio Benedicti), an elderly man who hands over the running of his grocery store to his overbearing son and daughter-in-law and escapes to search for his lost dog, named Badface. Roberto (Javier Lombardo) is a love-struck obsessive-compulsive Door-to-door who drives to San Julián, Santa Cruz to surprise one of his clients by bringing a cake for her child's birthday. Finally, María Flores (Javiera Bravo) is a Working class woman who travels to San Julián with her daughter because she has won a spot on "Multicoloured Casino" a fusty TV game show.
