Synopsis
Spoiler shield

In 1986, Facundo's father had a store in the heart of Buenos Aires, and it was very successful. However, in the early 90s, with the arrival of Chinese supermarkets, the store couldn't compete and had to close. Thirty years later, Facundo travels to the other end of the planet with the sole purpose of getting revenge by opening the first Argentine supermarket in China.
