Marcia, a chubby girl, works in a lingerie store in Buenos Aires. Two skinny girls, one named Renée and the other Mao, behave oddly. Two storylines run simultaneously, unrelated, with no apparent signs of trouble. But the two lines must eventually cross. When Renée is playing a video game, she sees Marcia walk by, then follows her, grabs her, and tells her: she loves her. Marcia is half-heartedly receptive. From the first moment she saw her, she fell in love with her; she wants to touch her body, she wants to lick her genitals, Renée says. Marcia previously had a boyfriend, but it ended badly, leaving her feeling down. She mentioned that once she saw a man at the beach with his genitals bitten by a tiger fish, all bruised. Renée tells her that there are no tiger fish in the ocean, and Marcia is lying to her. Marcia admits it was a lie, something she heard; she says she doesn’t know why she made up that story for them, she has never seen the ocean and wants to see it very much. The three of them called a taxi, but the driver doesn’t know where to go. Mao held the driver at knife point, and they took over the taxi, driving away. Later, they blindfolded Marcia and tied her hands, while Mao and Renée acted cool, speaking little. Marcia started to get scared. They kept driving. They kept driving. After a long distance, suddenly a sound came from the movie, it was the sound of the waves. They brought her to the seaside, removed her blindfold, and ran towards the ocean. If it were a heartbroken girl, she certainly wouldn’t be able to resist such a romantic pursuit from a man. Even if it's a woman pursuing another woman, it’s the same. Marcia was conquered. If the movie ended here, it could be said to be a standard guide to expressing love, but there’s still half left. They wander, they go to bed, they visit Mao's distant, peculiar aunt, who is equally strange.
