Synopsis
Between 1986 and 1991, more than twenty thousand Koreans left their country for Argentina. Many felt displaced as they attempted to learn the language and adapt to Argentine life. After a few years of isolation from their homeland and mother tongue, they no longer felt fully Korean either. Against this backdrop, Duk-kyu and Bo-rum show their interest in each other after Bo-rum's father's illegal clothing factory is raided. Their trip to La Boca, a popular tourist area, is bittersweet. They clearly have fun on their date, but it appears that they are but tourists in their adopted country. Hyoungsik and his gang of friends spend their days scrapping with the locals and harbouring resentment towards the Koreans who got rich quick. Meanwhile, Tina represents the second generation, an integrated beacon of hope for the future.
