Plot
Marco is a young and cynical lawyer from Bari. He lives with his partner Martina and their 7-year-old son Mateo. The love story between Marco and Martina, who is Chilean, is about to end. Martina wants to go back to Chile with little Mateo, but Marco doesn't agree as he doesn't want to be separated from his son. However, Martina decides to run away with Mateo, going to Chile and losing her tracks. Marco has no news of his son, and after a period of anguish and confusion he decides to go look for him. He finds himself in a South American metropolis of 6 million people, a reality that makes his research difficult. After an agonizing and inconclusive search, Martina and Mateo seem to have vanished into thin air.
