Since the 1990s, a wave of new immigrants from the former Soviet Union has hit Argentina's borders. They lose their identity and, to a certain extent, their pride as they are forced to adapt to an unfamiliar language and an unwelcoming society.

Nevertheless, he feels compelled to make something of his life, even if he has to take advantage of others.
