Carlos Meléndez is unemployed, and finding himself without basic services such as gas, water and electricity. For twelve hours, he will have to endure and battle against the various ills of a congested city - bureaucratic secretaries of ill will, punk criminals, policemen, among others- in order to seek the respect of his peers.

Carlos Meléndez acaba de romper con su novia. Sin gas, agua ni electricidad, tiene que salir a buscar trabajo. En solo 12 horas y al ritmo de su agitado reloj, tendrá que pelear con secretarias insoportables, ladrones punks, la fuerza policial, un cafe-topless, hot-dogs podridos y un fanático religioso. Todo eso para ser, de una vez por todas, respetado. (zoowoman)
