    • Synopsis
    • Martín (Juan Grandinetti) works as a croupier at the casino at night and during the day he studies and practices card magic.
      Martín is close friends with Rubio (Lautaro Delgado Tymruk), whose magical talent is being a pickpocket. Martín and el Rubio are regulars at Mariana's (Thelma Fardin) magic venue, where they meet to talk, practice tricks and share moments of camaraderie.
      The three of them usually go to new shows and tour the magical scene of the city. One of those new shows is by Arben (Esteban Pérez), a magician with great illusions.
      On the night of the opening, Martín meets Sofía (Carolina Kopelioff), Arben's girlfriend and is instantly attached to her. It is love at first sight.
      As the days go by, Martín experiences a change in his magic as he thinks more about Sofia. His interest in her, the love that aroused him, also causes a radical change in his way of making illusions and puts him in contact with a magical world that he did not think possible.
