El funcionamiento general del mundo

The trip to the Iguazú Falls of Federico Benítez and his children is already arranged, but a call alters the plans at the last moment: an old and urgent debt of gratitude forces him to change course and get on his way, with those two upset trailing teenagers towards distant Patagonia. In four days of travel, this self-absorbed and clumsy man will tell young people a hidden story that is his, his and that of his soulless adolescence, his and that of the First Interdivisional Soccer Tournament of the National Superior Normal School Arturo Del Manso, played in 1983. And that soccer tournament, with its arbitrariness, with its cheating, with its pettiness, but also with its greatness, with its lights and shadows, will be for this fifteen-year-old boy a laboratory of life from which he will emerge transformed.
