After the sudden death of her husband, Luisa (Erica Luis) has to go looking for a partner. Someone who can help care for her two daughters, primarily in a financial sense. With her hair done up, she goes for a night out. She soon finds a potential candidate, the gallant Ernesto (Marcelo Subiotto). But has she got over the death of her lover? Does she really want a new relationship? These doubts are amplified by observational compositions – small glimpses into the life of a family in mourning in 1960s Buenos Aires. The sultry and occasionally static camera work and the choice of filming in black-and-white seem to be a direct homage to the golden era of Hollywood. Likewise, the play with lighting is occasionally reminiscent of film noir. These style techniques are used to get to the core of the matter: Will Luisa re-find happiness?
