Synopsis by Jason Buchanan

Documentary veteran Hugo Grosso makes his first foray into fictional narrative with a collection of free-form vignettes exploring the effects that the construction of the Rosario-Victoria Bridge had over the citizens of the Argentinian cities and providences it connected over the Parana River. As an elderly gentleman (Hector Bidonde) ponders the prospect of moving from his longtime home due to the constant rumble of mammoth bulldozers, a pair of quarreling middle-aged sisters (Monica Alfonso and Monica Galan) find the arrival of a handsome German lodger (Julian Knab) reigniting their sensual passions; little do the sisters realize that the hunky engineer only has eyes for his transvestite lover (Juan Pablo Geretto) who loves across the Parana. Meanwhile, two children (David Olmos and Emanuel Rojas) take off on a nautical quest for fun as scammer Jaibo (Miguel Bosco) and his smoldering shill (Milagros Alarcon) stumble into a historical anomaly and freelance filmmaker Abel (Miguel Franchi) commences filming a positive-slanted documentary on the construction of the bridge.
