Synopsis

A glance at humanity living in contemporary Buenos Aires, a profoundly contradictory city where drama blends with comedy, friendship with enmity, abuse with solidarity, the desire to leave with the desire to stay. A fragmented story made of uncertainties and decisions to be taken, with two women seeking for a better life amidst economic and sentimental difficulties, a man finding strength and confidence in love, a couple who wants a child by all and even the less orthodox means, a man believing he can change his life by emigrating to Ibiza... While time goes by, men and women differing in age, class and lifestyle, try meanwhile (mientras tanto) to find the best possible road, be it inside or outside the labyrinth of Buenos Aires.
