Gegè, a fading pop singer, is invited to a tour in Uruguay, where thirty years before he had performed obtaining an astounding success.
Not having enough money for the flight, he boards a ship and meets Ruggero, a loner cook who hasn’t touched ground for the last four years.
The two feel an immediate dislike for each other and, as an act of spite, Ruggero locks Gegè in the refrigerator.
Due to this occurrence, Gegè’s voice suddenly fades and he is diagnosed with a block of his vocal chords. Feeling responsible, Ruggero pretends to be the singer himself.
From then on, the destinies and the lives of these strangers, united by the same desire for redemption, will intertwine in surprising ways.
