Pablo and Florencia work on Florida Street, the economic and tourist epicentre of Buenos Aires. Economic difficulties and the prospect of a trip makes it difficult for them to live together. Pablo, in order to survive, begins to clandestinely smuggle dollars in the street. Taking advantage of the volatility of the dollar's value, they devise a mechanism to make more profit, and thus make money to allow them to live a better life.
