Fergus O'Connell, an itinerant Irish American dentist from New Jersey, offers his services free-of-charge to the isolated rural population of Patagonia, in Argentina. He's able to do so because of the supposedly no-strings sponsorship of a "dental consciousness" foundation. While his motorbike is being repaired, O'Connell meets Estela, the garage-owner's daughter, and they quickly become affectionate towards each other. Both lovers have prior commitment: he is married, and she is engaged. Yet, they go off together all the same. After a series of surrealistic adventures, O'Connell discovers that there's a subliminal price tag attached to his altruistic free services. Nevertheless, Fergus decides to continue with his work on the prevention of tooth decay and dental health education, simultaneously freeing himself from any kind of sponsorship and corporate meddling. He again proposes Estela to come join him, and they both depart, traveling on the road once again.
