From case cover:
En la República de Miranda, un país imaginario de América Latina gobernado por un dictador, el Gral. Abalorio, un joven periodista, Arcibel Alegría (Darío Grandinetti), analista de ajedrez, hacedor de crucigramas y redactor de horóscopos, por un error de diagramación es acusado de intentar desestabilizar al gobierno y se lo encarcela junto a un grupo de presos políticos durante más de 30 años.
Arcibel, que hasta aquí se considera una persona apolítica, bastante solitario, casado y separado, con una hija de apena dos años, comenzará a conocer en la cárcel una realidad que le era ajena. El tiempo pasa, el Gral, Abalorio es elegido democráticamente presidente y los presos políticos son liberados, salvo Arcibel, quien tendrá la desagradable sorpresa de descubrir, que por un error burocrático, pasa a ser un preso común.
En todo ese tiempo Arcibel sobrevive inventando distintos juegos de azar. Un día uno de sus juegos será tomado demasiado en serio por un joven marginal llamado Pablo (Diego Torres) que terminará cambiando la historia de Miranda.
