In the bustling city of Buenos Aires, individuals hailing from the rural regions of the country flock to the capital with hopes of transforming their lives for the better. However, their aspirations take an unexpected turn when they find themselves caught in the grips of an unforeseen crisis, leading them to seek refuge in an emergency settlement. In this desperate situation, they stumble upon the vibrant world of "bailanta," a lively dance scene, which becomes their sanctuary and means of escapism from their harsh reality.
