In a dimly lit bar, former psychiatrist Juan Carlos Castro drinks to forget the landmark case he handled at the country's most famous psychiatric hospital—a case that dragged him into his current state of ruin and decline. "The Gómez case was the strangest thing," he tells anyone willing to listen, and Luis Peralta happens to be one of them. At the bar, Peralta listens to the mysterious story the psychiatrist repeats over and over. Eventually, unable to hide his astonishment at the fantastic tale, Peralta laughs uncontrollably, all the while feverishly calculating how to turn the situation to his advantage. Is it all a game? Is it all just imagination? Or is it all real?
In Argentine mythology, the gaucho holds a significant cultural position. The gaucho descends from the union between the indigenous population and Iberian immigrants. Gauchos adopted the Indígenas’ approach to livestock farming and are always associated with horses and vast open plains. The drama occurs when the brother falls from a horse and can no longer be saved. Man and horse become one, for a short moment. Then he draws a knife and revenge violates the idyll: An eye for an eye, a man for a beast. Fire burns on the street, the gaucho mounts his horse and revenge runs its course. The mythical realm overflows into the realm of reality.
