Synopsis

Saturday morning, 7 o'clock, Montevideo, Uruguay. Leche, Javi and Seba are still up. Bored, they hang around the street and drink cheap beer. Leche has just stood in a dog turd and is convinced that this will bring misfortune. Soon he has an Italian exam, for which he will have to study hard. Unfortunately he is distracted by all kinds of things: he has fallen in love with his teacher, has to look after his senile grandmother and his moronic neighbour has lost his dog. Javi has already completed his studies. He has a terrible job and has to drive round the neighbourhood with a sound system on his car. All day he has to listen to the same dumb pasta commercial blaring out of his loudspeakers. The only ray of hope in his life is his girlfriend Maria, but she is about to dump him. Finally there is the quiet Seba, the youngest of the three, who always keeps bumping into the strangest types.
