Synopsis
Roberto runs a hardware store where he spends his time counting the nails in boxes and then angrily calling the manufacturer when the tally doesn't correspond with the number on the packaging. His life is solitary: He visits his parents' graves, treats the few people he knows disdainfully, and now and then has contact to Mari, a former flame from the countryside who has come to Buenos Aires only to win him back. When Roberto sees Jun, a Chinese man being thrown out of the back of a cab, he helps him, much to the contrary of his usual behavior. Jun, who has been sent to Argentina to find a relative who will give him work, ends up living with Roberto. Roberto desperately tries to get rid of his new housemate, and his attempts become more and more hilarious.
