- -A sequence plan that doesn't care about the consequences. An evening without a date, a street corner without a corner, a crowd without a name at the entrance of a nightclub, a nightclub with surprises. Subjective camera. Point of view of a selective doorman. Better to be on the guest list than to make the line-up. Constant coming and going. Club kids, flyer boys, door divas, model posters, cigarette girls, barmaids, dancing queens, psycho freaks, drag bitches, sex addicts, candy children, sugar daddys. Nervous, authentic, duly improvised, bilingual, just like Montreal. (Canada). Crazy subtitles, in the opposite language, poorly translated, relating a different version of the speech. Conversations without head or tail, just like the characters. Words that are futile, rarely subtle, often very funny, out of clumsiness. Silences as revealing as spontaneously superficial dialogues. Groove IS in the heart. In the mixed toilets of the bar, camera hidden behind the mirror, we find the same characters, in the same clothes, holding the same conversations. Suddenly, their humor provokes yellow laughter.

- Apart from the sight of the earth and the moon in the sky at the same time, and the flaming rocks that fall at irregular intervals into the streets, it could be a slum anywhere on Old Earth... like the slums of Montevideo where Uncle Tio grew up. In fact, it is an abandoned mining colony in a giant crater of a large asteroid, precariously protected from vacuum. Just like the slums of Earth, the strong prey on the weak and the weak upon the weaker; and Tobi, who makes a meager living as a scrap collector and occasional bare-knuckle fighter, knows that the only chance of escape for himself and his friends lies in the monthly rocket from the Russian colony outside the crater. But the cost is more than he would usually make in a decade. Does the solution lie at the gaming tables of El Senor, who with his enforcers rules over the colony with an iron hand?
