Synopsis

A tale weaving together multiple stories which revolve around the alienated, unruly twenty-year-olds--in the Buenos Aires night-life--who are looking for love, adventure and a quick lay. Roller-blades on their feet and a sense of emptiness in their spirit, they try to fill their hearts by selling themselves to men and women. Reni is a singer in a small local rock band that has regular gigs at various urban night clubs. Andres is a prostitute who has sex with other men whenever and wherever he can (even in front of cash-dispensers). The two meet by chance, they feel attracted to each other, they make love and start roaming the city together. Then they split up. The tale continues to journey through nights full of sex and music, immersed in a game of lights and shadows in the Argentine capital. However, a hundred pesos can't replace feelings. Love can't be bought.
