Oliverio lives in a building taken over by immigrants from the Mexican countryside who work constantly to provide the basic services lacking in the dwelling. However, 17-year-old Oliverio spends his time playing video games, even though electricity is unstable and in short supply. When the summer rains start, a short circuit puts an end to the building´s connection to the electrical system. New ideas on how to get power arise.
