Buenos Aires in March 2020, just days before the outbreak of the pandemic. A wedding is being celebrated; a car overturns. The guests share joints, kisses, sex, and the memory of a loss. At the center of this comedy of errors is Arturo, who is every bit as drawn to misfortune as he is directionless - qualities he shares with the film's full cast of characters. His faux pas and blunders stand in inverse relation to the finesse with which the film elegantly glides back in time from the wedding day to the 2010s. As episodes from Arturo's life come to the fore - a bus trip to Patagonia with his trans housemate, a painfully awkward dress rehearsal for a play - narrative time is compressed and extended again, while a voiceover provides a steady counterweight to the tumult. As the hit song "Azúcar amargo" (Bitter Sugar) comes on and the dance floor fills, the bittersweet nature of the film becomes apparent with the same clarity as the coughing that proceeds it.
