Juan 'Coco' Villegas is a 52 year old mechanic/attendant who lost his job when the gas station change owner. He lives with his daughter's family. He hasn't seen his wife in 20 years. He tries to sell his homemade knives but nobody is buying. With no education, he is unlikely to find any more work. He helps a woman with a broken down vehicle and she gives him a pedigreed hunting dog in return. After a convenient meeting, he is paired up with big loud dog trainer Walter Donado.
It is a slow meandering Argentine movie with the smiling sweet-natured Coco. It's a nice journey. I personally was more interested in his daughter getting the pipe fixed. It's a journey that drifts from one place to the next. The fact is that Coco is not a driven person. He's not necessarily driving this movie but rather the story is driving him. Nevertheless, his sweet nature keeps this a compelling watch.
