Synopsis

Agustin (40) seems to have a full life. At least that is what he says in the alternative therapy groups he attends, but that is not the truth. He steals information from his clients and pretends to be someone he's not. His aim is to prove those therapies' ineffectiveness and get people's attention. It's in the Family Constellations group that he meets Agustina (35), the groups' therapist, an extroverted young woman who suffers from hearing loss and turns off her hearing aid in order to avoid what she does not want to hear. She isn't willing to play his game and quickly shuts down Agustin's attempts to disrupt her group. And so, between lies and truths they refuse to accept, Agustin and Agustina begin to feel comfortable in each other's company and develop the necessary courage to open their hearts to the infinite abyss of life.
