Together with Laila, his teenage daughter, he will live through what feels like a chaotic summer in Argentina and Brazil, yet which will finally become a turning point in their relationship and lives. This is the story of a daughter’s emancipation from her father, and at the same time that of a man who desperately wants nothing more than to love and be loved.
