it will always be there autobiographical tone and from the point of view of “Tam”, the philosopher and writer specializing in popular culture, and lecturer at the UBA’s Faculty of Arts who she is in her thirties at the antipodes of her Orthodox Jewish religious upbringing.
The reunion with an old school friend, Sara Levy (Brenda Kreisermann), makes her revisit that past and at the same time acts as a trigger: Tamara decides to break up with her boyfriend (Andrea Gil), leave the apartment they live in and move in with her grandmother, with the approval of Ruth, her friend mother (Verónica Llinás).
Since that breakup, Tamara enters a path of sexual and emotional exploration, destroying mandates and their own taboos. The range of achievements goes from his boss and radio show host (Mike Amigorena), a so-called expert heartthrob who ends up being a disappointment in every sense; and Ophelia (Mariana Genesio Pena), a trans bartender who initially resists him.
Tamara accompanies her reinvention journey with her friends Juana and Laura –Vera Spinetta and Julieta Giménez Zapiola-, faithful slopes of nocturnal outings and more intellectual plans, like a speech by the famous feminist philosopher Judith Butler.
