Lake Tahoe plot
Sixteen-year-old Juan runs away from home. Just outside the city, he hits a telephone pole with his car. His younger brother Joaquin says that their mother is still locked in the bathroom. Juan is now looking for the necessary spare parts himself. An old paranoid auto mechanic and his dog Sica seem in no rush to get the promised help. Meanwhile, Juan roams the streets of the sleepy town. He meets the flirtatious young mother Lucia in an auto parts store. She doesn't really know anything about cars. They have to wait for the slain and Kung Fu-obsessed auto mechanic David. In this absurd world, Juan finds solace after his daily life has fallen apart.
