    • Synopsis
    • Marina (30) travels from her hometown in Córdoba to Buenos Aires and participates in a casting for the lead role in a play. Upon being elected, a global pandemic resulting from a strong socio-ecological crisis forces her to lock herself in a small apartment due to government restrictions.

      With the play suspended and all prospects of acting work suspended, Marina goes out to deliver orders by bicycle. On one of her outings she meets Almendra (25), a street vendor who is interested in her.

      Mobilized by the forest fires that overwhelm her province, Marina accompanies Almendra to various socio-environmental actions where she meets four activists who will teach her how to fight.

      Fed up with pedaling for little money, Marina takes a new job as a cleaning staff with which she becomes financially independent from her parents.
      Convinced that the exit is collective, Marina assumes the direction of a performance to be carried out in the global climate strike. However, new openings revive the play and rethink what to do.

      Marina prepares the performance and the work but the general rehearsal with the press coincides with the environmental strike. Marina must finally face her own prejudices to decide whether to take to the streets in defense of her territory or follow her vocation. Marina chooses to play her role and together with the activists, they intervene with the performance, the dress rehearsal.

      In this hybrid comedy-drama, art, crisis, love and social struggle merge in a personal discovery that will lead Marina to find her own way of acting in life and on stage.
