Esperando al mesías

A young Jewish man from Buenos Aires navigates his mother's terminal illness, works the night shift as a surveillance camera monitor, and struggles to find his place in the world, including his own sexuality.

In a post-1999 Argentina, a young Jewish man named Ariel navigates his mother's terminal illness, a new job monitoring surveillance cameras at night, and his own sexual awakening. Meanwhile, Santamaria, a middle-aged man, faces unemployment and a troubled marriage, finding solace in returning stolen wallets to their owners. As Ariel shares Santamaria's story with a TV reporter, Laura, who is in a relationship with another woman but may be open to new connections, Ariel finds himself drawn to her.
