When his pet is killed by a probe from earth, Mercano, a Martian, travels to earth angered. Landing in Buenos Aires, at first noone takes any notice of him.

The differences of origin and poetics between José Martínez Suárez and Manuel Antin, representatives of the cinema of the ‘60s’ Generation, are proof of the heterogeneity of the period and, at the same time, share the creation of a renovating and personal aesthetic that observes reality with a critical eye.

In the 60s and thanks to the epistolary exchange, the young filmmaker Manuel Antín and the famous writer Julio Cortázar devised four films. An ocean away, a fruitful collaboration and genuine friendship are born.
