A middle-aged meltdown where your vacation home becomes a pressure cooker of existential dread.
Bernardo is fifty years old and feels overwhelmed, confused, almost devastated; surrounded by the violence typical of a society that is slowly collapsing. With relationship problems, difficulties in conceiving a child and a woman who cannot - and does not care - dive into his deepest conflicts. Bernardo finds no rest anywhere. His head is about to explode when he decides to take a little vacation with Diana at their house in Tigre. They will not go alone: Nancy, an islander and house cleaner, will be part of a key night for Bernardo.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Made during Argentina's 2001 economic crisis, the film's 'collapsing society' isn't backdrop—it's character. The Tigre Delta itself becomes a metaphor for isolation amid national fracture.
Barone originally developed this as a stage play, which explains the claustrophobic three-act structure and the way Nancy functions as both witness and catalyst—she's essentially the audience surrogate who won't let Bernardo off the hook.
