Rulo, who wears his age around his waist, hopes to get a job as a crane operator on a building site. He gets along somehow while his son lounges around between two gigs with his rock band. Rulo is a 50-year-old ex-bass player from a famous 1970’s rock group who now works as a crane operator. One day Rulo meets Adriana, a sandwich seller who used to be a big fan of his own band back in the sixties… When a new laborer arrives on the scene and takes his job, Rulo is forced to leave Buenos Aires as well as his new love, Adriana, and his son Claudio, who hopes to follow in his father’s footsteps by forming a band of his own. Rulo’s stoutness eventually keeps him out of the crane job, forcing him to leave Buenos Aires for a precarious job 2000 kilometers south in Comodoro Rivadavia…
