In Argentina, between 1982 and 1985, the Puccios, a well-established family of San Isidro, an upper-class suburb of Buenos Aires, kidnap several people and hold them as hostages for a ransom.
After receiving bad news, Natalia, a young novice, returns home, where her sister Ángela asks her to travel with her and her friends to a mysterious place.
A heat wave strikes Buenos Aires and Juana has to stay while everyone is on vacation; for her everything seems repetitive and dull, and a pop song about the sea follows her everywhere.
Juan is in his 30s, bored with his life, and isolated from his friends. He is just dedicated to being a good boyfriend. One day, his girlfriend dumps him, and he leaves the house they shared not knowing where to go. Eventually, he starts enjoying his life again.
Two couples get together to celebrate Christmas, or, rather, kitschmas, because the scenery, the characters and the objects are stuck in 1972. Masked beings perform human rituals—ironing clothes, playing charades and boogie woogie and going to bed.
