Ariel lives in New York, far from the lively Jewish district in Buenos Aires where he grew up. But when his father, the manager of a Jewish charity and big macher in the community, summons him home for help, Ariel reluctantly returns. In this kindhearted comedy with a romantic touch, he seeks to reconnect with his father who was frequently absent during his childhood, due to his religious obligations.
