    • Synopsis
    • In an alternate future, each country has a space capsule orbiting the planet. Aboard the Argentine capsule are Sami and Claudio, who work on predicting the weather.

      On Earth, a new production system organizes the cities. Through technology embedded in people's bodies, this system controls their movements and thoughts. In one of these cities, Lucía, Juana, and Evaristo work painting advertisements with colored chalk on the streets. At night, Lucía escapes the constant surveillance and paints anti-advertisements on city walls.

      Meanwhile, in the capsule, Sami and Claudio receive news that the country has changed owners, and they won't be able to return to Earth. Sami attempts to return by launching himself with only the capsule and a parachute, while Claudio chooses to move to the American capsule.

      In the factory, Lucía is fired after being caught painting at night. With no direction, she leaves the city, and in the countryside, she encounters Sami, unconscious after his landing. Lucía approaches, removes his helmet, and lies beside him on the ground, connecting with him and the earth.
