A lonely taxi driver's only love is a football club—until a single mom crashes his offside trap.
Sometimes the links can be built from the passions. Sometimes those links can become passions. For Hugo, a solitary taxi driver from Buenos Aires, the total, absolute and exclusive passion is San Lorenzo, which is not only an active part of his past, but a healthy obsession that bathes that gives color to his life. Until a single mother and her son cross their path. Now there will be someone to share the passion with. Maybe something more.
