During the economic hard times that took place in Argentina in the mid-1970s, highly trained professionals left the country in huge numbers in order to find work. In this story, Alejandro (Alfredo Alcon) is an architect who cannot get work, either because he does not have the right ideological credentials, or because it is simply not there. In fact, he would do anything someone would pay him to do, including digging ditches. Despite this, he refuses to leave his beloved homeland.
