The acting leader of a rural Argentine village, Don Hidalgo, announces that with the birth of the village’s 501st resident, they have officially become a town. As such, Hidalgo exclaims, they can now elect a mayor. Though Hidalgo considers himself the obvious choice, Baldomero, the older brother of local shopkeeper Florencio, is considered a prime candidate by many of the town’s residents. That is until Baldomero shows up dead. Florencio decides to keep his brother’s finger in a jar at the front of his store as a memento. But when strange things start happening in town, not even Florencio is prepared for the effect that Baldomero’s finger will have on the townspeople and the election.
