The film is set in Buenos Aires, 1982, and focuses on Matías, a 19-year-old man who just finished his military work and now dreams of studying music in Spain. He needs to convince his father, who opposes this plan, and his girlfriend, who refuses to move to another country. In a short time, however, everything changes: the Falklands War breaks out, and Matías needs to mature when he is, once again, involved with the military service. Will desertion be his first act as an adult?
