Le film s'étend des années cinquante aux années soixante-dix et suit Humberto. De plus en plus, il est de plus en plus obsédé par de multiples projets de cuisine louche dans l'Amérique du Sud, menant à une décision définitive.

Juan's life gives an unexpected twist when the laboratory for which he works announces his dismissal. Faced with the difficult economic situation of the country migrates from Montevideo to Barcelona. There he meets Mariano, an Argentine friend of the fanfare that dreams with Hollywood while cleaning tables and Julia, a young student who works as a waitress. Thanks to them, he manages to get integrated in the city and to see nearer the dream of bringing together his family. But Juan will soon discover that what he wants is, closer to him than he could ever have imagined.

When a sweet old lady manages to reunite her family to tell them she won the lottery, her despicable children start behaving like vultures to fight for the jackpot.
