In a Venezuela stricken by a decade-long economic and political crisis that has led to the migration of millions of its citizens, two former schoolmates are forced to face an uneasy choice. Roberto, a rigid idealist, works for the Ministry of Transportation convinced he will never abandon his home country. Abroad in Italy, Selina, a careless brat, works illegally and considers marrying for papers as long as she never has to return to Venezuela.
