Long synopsis : Hernan is a shy, 24-year-old courier, who has lived alone since his family fled the ravages of Argentina’s economic crisis for Spain. Desperate for company he rents a room to the beautiful Pato, a stunning gas station employee. She moves in and to his delight they quickly become lovers. All goes well until her family – her father Venacio, her mother and a little girl later revealed to be Pato’s daughter – arrives from the country ‘for one night only’. The family is respectful, charming, but also completely broke. The night comes and goes, days become weeks, and they show no intention of leaving.
