- Synopsis
- Ailín finds herself on top of a shed, taking photos of the living dead. A young man on his motorcycle escapes the zombies by quickly passing through the graves. That young, frightened man, is Martin. Ailin helps him climb to the roof of the shed, and that’s how they first meet.
  That same night Ailin tells Martin a half-secret. She tells him that salvation from the hordes of zombies lies within her photographic camera. She can’t (or won’t) reveal any more.
  That night they sleep on the roof. In the morning, as planned, they meet Toto and Chiquito. They are Ailín’s friends. At first they think that Martín is another adversary but soon the girl explains that actually it was him who saved her from being bitten by a zombie the night before.
  And that is how the four leave in their vehicles for the “Sheraton”. An abandoned building called ironically that way after the big Hotel in Buenos Aires. They spend three days there, it’s a safe spot. Martín feels comfortable between them. The question is trying to get to the Capital. Once there, figure out how to enter the city.
  Along the road, they live different adventures which hinder their destination. But, at the same time, Martín feels safer within the group and falls in love with Ailín.
  Before reaching Pueyrredón Bridge crossing, the group splits. Chiquito and Toto on one side and the young couple on the other. Surrounded by a brain-thirsty procession of living dead, Ailín believes she has been bitten, and jumps off Martín’s motorbike. Before that, she hangs her camera on the young man’s back.
  Now Martín finds himself at a crossroads. What should he do? Go with the other men inside the city, or figure out a way to rescue Ailín? Martín goes back to where Toto and Chiquito are and leaves the camera (and possible salvation) with them, then leaves. He returns to Ailín, as she curses him for his decision.
  They kiss.
  A great white wall separates the Capital from the rest of the country.
  Toto and Chiquito listen to the question that asks from behind the wall:
  “What do you have to offer?”
  
  “MEN ARE BLIND TO THE SIMPLE TRUTH.”
