    Adalberto Castilla (Federico Luppi) is a man of great principles. He prides himself on how he lives his life and his clear conscience. When his new younger boss, Silva (Pablo Echarri), discovers Adalberto has the final magazine he needs to complete a collection he will stop at nothing to convince Adalberto to cast aside his high morals to sell it to him. The reason the sale is of such consequence to Adalberto is that the magazine contains a picture of his father and to him, considered a family treasure. Even Adalberto's wife, Sarita (Norma Aleandro), pleads of him to sell the magazine so she may send their adopted son on a soccer trip, buy a new car, and redecorate their apartment. To her it is a means at a better life, not an act of forsaking one's principles. Adalberto faces an incredibly difficult decision on whether to stand true to his beliefs that not everything has a price or to give in to the tempting prospect of selling the magazine for the spoils the money may bring.
