Overview
December 31, 2012. In the middle of the heat wave, a thirty-something man (Gastón Markotic) has to refrigerate the piglet that his father-in-law sends him for the end of the year. The refusal of a butcher to help him and the clumsiness of his friend Virgo (Manuel Sánchez Viamonte) result in a series of adventures through the city of La Plata.
