In the early 80s, in the Chilean desert, 11-year-old Lidia is raised by a queer family banished to the outskirts of an unpleasant and dusty mining town. They are accused of causing a mysterious disease that’s starting to spread, said to be passed on through a simple gaze, when one man falls for another. In this modern western, Lidia leads the quest for revenge, taking on the violence, the fear and the hatred, where the family is her only haven and love could be the real danger.

Azucena spies on a group of teenagers who live together like siblings in an orphanage. She's 30 years old but stuck in the past on account of a life-changing event. Although their social worlds keep them apart, Azucena searches for something within the group, particularly focusing on 17-year-old Julio. The encounter between these two wounded people is shaped by pain, attraction, the Oedipus complex, laughter and tenderness.

A Korean family decides to look for new opportunities and find ways of grieving for what they have lost on the way: Lila, a young Korean-Argentinean girl, navigates the contradictions of her identity and tries to find her place in the world. Meanwhile, her father Antonio arrives in Latin America 18 years earlier as a young man in search of new horizons, deciding to bet everything he has on the promise of a young immigrant's dream. A generational saga that returns to the past to reinvent today.

At the height of the financial crisis, a girl with the gift of being able to talk to animals and her opportunistic guardians make a living from organising pet medium sessions as they travel in a small camper van along the dusty trails of the Argentinian countryside. A supernatural business, where the transcendental means cash and opportunism brushes with the truth. Magic or scam, the service is real and innocence a treasure.
