Abril, an upcoming jockey, is pregnant by him and has to decide between having his child or continuing to race. They both race for Sirena, a businessman who saved Remo's life in the past. One day, Remo suffers an accident, disappears from the hospital and wanders around the city without identity. Sirena wants him dead or alive, while Abril tries to find him before it's too late. Nahuel Pérez Biscayart, Luis Ortega, Daniel Giménez Cacho, Julio Chavezmontes Daniel Giménez Cacho shared his impressions about the film's script: “I loved my character's universe. There are so many things going on in the world regarding identity issues, that somehow this permeates the underworld.”The Jockey continues its tour of festivals, having also been part of the last edition of the Venice International Film Festival.
