In an Argentine prison cell, two complete opposites discover that love may spring in the most unlikely of places. Valentin, a political prisoner whose commitment to the Marxist cause takes precedence over all other things, forges an unlikely relationship with queer, movie-loving Molina, who escapes his harsh reality by retelling film noir classics as their glamorous leading ladies. Poignant, chilling, funny and sensual.

En una cĆ”rcel argentina, dos reclusos con ideas y personalidades totalmente distintas descubren que el amor puede nacer en los lugares menos esperados. ValentĆn, un prisionero polĆtico cuyo compromiso con las teorĆas marxistas es lo primero en su vida, desarrolla una conexiĆ³n con el cinĆ©filo y gay Molina, quien escapa de su realidad contando filmes clĆ”sicos noir interpretando los roles principales femeninos. Una pieza mordaz, divertida y sensual.
