A depressed man dreams of saving strangers and decides that's his reason to live.
After the death of his wife and his young daughter in a traffic accident for which he was responsible, Luna falls into a large pit of depression. Neither medication nor religion help him to keep going. Until one day, Luna has a dream that he receives as a revelation. In that dream, he sees himself driving a car and carrying a woman, Selva along with his son Beni. Luna takes it as a challenge and attempts to carry out his mission: to save the woman and the child from the dream.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Argentine cinema of this period often explored Catholic guilt through secular lenses; Luna's 'revelation' mirrors saint narratives without divine confirmation.
The 82-minute runtime mirrors Luna's fractured attention span — the film itself feels like something half-remembered from a sleepless night.
