Synopsis.
Manuel and Pedro are extremely close friends. The former is an insatiable, acid and critical womanizer, while the latter is a solitary homosexual who views the social changes the country is undergoing with optimistic eyes. Desperate for Pedro to find meaning in his life, his friend organizes an appointment with Gabriela, a forty-year-old woman, whom he met through the internet, and who, in a hurry by her biological clock, is looking for a father for her son. A new Chile inspires Pedro to take a step previously unimagined for a homosexual: becoming a father.
