When lonely, embittered and eccentric hardware shopkeeper Robert (Ricardo Darin) goes to the aid of Jun (Ignacio Huang) a Chinaman who is being thrown out of a Buenos Aires taxi, he is drawn into Jun's search for his uncle via a tattooed address on Jun's arm - Jun speaks no Spanish. Roberto takes Jun to the police station, where the cop wants to jail him so Roberto takes Jun in as his house guest for the night. Next day he takes Jun to the Chinese embassy, where he learns Jun is an orphan looking for his uncle - and so to the Chinese neighborhood to seek out his uncle - without success. After a series of incidents, a Chinese take-away delivery boy translates for Jun, and Roberto discovers the dramatic event that brought Jun to Argentina. (Based on a true story.)
