Synopsis
Spoiler shield

Mingo, Carlitos and Tristán are three friends who run a humble moving company together. One day, while they are having dinner at Carlitos' house, a baby is left at his door with a letter in which they are asked to take the baby to the province of Córdoba so that he's not in danger. From there, a series of entanglements begin as they are taken as kidnappers and fugitives from the law.

“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
