In 2000, Elsa Valentina Bassi, a 25yearold woman who barely makes a living as a promotional girl on the streets in Buenos Aires, commits minor crimes, like stealing from her boss wallet, in order to survive. As a promotional girl, she does what can be considered humiliating work handing out flyers for antistress tablets for motorists and pedestrians, dressing up in odd outfits for fastfood restaurants, and the like.During the film, protests take place in the streets of Buenos Aires but Elsa ignores them. Included are documentarylike scenes of the 2001 riots that seem shot by a handheld camera. She dreams of fleeing her impoverished country and traveling to Italy where a former boyfriend, whom she had a onenight stand with several months before, left for better opportunities. This is ironic because her anarchist grandfather Daro Vttori left Italy and came to Argentina to escape poverty he still has antiestablishment views years ago. Her boyfriend Walter Fernn Mirs protests the trip, yet, her grandfather urges her to follow her heart. Her dream is mostly a fantasy she has in order to ameliorate the stress of surviving during Argentinas economic troubles. ........
