A teenager hits the road for a crash course in the ways of the world in this amiable comedy-drama. Daniel (Tomas Fonzi) is a 17-year-old orphan growing up in a sleepy village in rural Argentina. Daniel feels trapped in his town, has grown tired of living with his grandparents, and hates his job; one of his few pleasures in life is sneaking into a local movie house to watch the latest picture from blue movie star Sabrina Love (Cecilia Roth). Daniel enters a contest in which some lucky man will win a date with the sultry actress, and his heartfelt letter earns him the grand prize; now Daniel has to get to Buenos Aires for his moment of glory. As Daniel hitchhikes from one side of the country to the other, he has a number of remarkable experiences and encounters a handful of unusual people, including his brother (Fabian Vena), who hasn't yet accepted his parents' death; a free-thinking writer (Mario Paolucci); and a reporter (Julieta Cardinali) with amour on her mind.
