Synopsis :
A mosaic of the experiences suffered by new immigrants to Argentina, linked through three stories taking place at the La Salada Fair. People of different races struggle with loneliness and feeling far from home: a Korean father and his daughter preparing for an arranged marriage, a young Bolivian freshly arrived in the country looking for work, and a Taiwanese DVD seller who wants a girlfriend to keep him company.
Director's biography:
Buenos Aires, 1979. Juan Martín Hsu studied Image Design and Sound at the Universidad de Buenos Aires.

He has also produced other shorts, like Alberto Romero's La loca Matilde and Feliz Navidad by Ezequiel Yanco and Marcelo Pitrola. He was the screenplay editor on the documentary feature film Creating Enemies, directed by Richard Mahoney, and post-production assistant on Celina Murga's Una semana solos, Juan Villegas's Los suicidas and Néstor Lescovich's Yo la recuerdo ahora.
