Vladimir in Buenos Aires

Vladimir in Buenos Aires

Since the 1990s, a wave of new immigrants from the former Soviet Union has hit Argentina's borders. They lose their identity and, to a certain extent, their pride as they are forced to adapt to an unfamiliar language and an unwelcoming society. Vladimir is one of those immigrants; unemployed, he feels cheated by the supposed opportunities of the "free world," but at least he finds solace in the arms of a prostitute. Nevertheless, he feels compelled to make something of his life, even if he has to take advantage of others.
