Argentina's national treasure, Ricardo Darín, plays Roberto, a gruff, anti-social loner
who lords over his tiny hardware shop in Buenos Aires with a meticulous sense of
control and routine, barely allowing for the slightest of customer foibles. After a chance
encounter with Jun, a Chinese man who has arrived in Argentina looking for his only
living relative, Roberto takes him in. Their unusual cohabitation helps Roberto bring an
end to his loneliness, but not without revealing to the impassive Jun that destiny's
intersections are many and they can even divulge the film's surreal opening
sequence: a brindled cow falling from the sky.
