N2  - From case cover:
No es una película en episodios sino cuatro de las muchas historias que ocurren al mismo tiempo en una gran ciudad. La del provinciano que llega esperanzado a conquistarla. La del adolescente para quien todo, hasta el amor, es ajeno. La del albañil paraguayo perturbado por un encuentro revelador. O la de quien, a su pesar, termina entrampado en la maraña política de un comité barrial. Todo al mismo tiempo, en el mismo día, porque la vida es así, una sola y suceden muchas cosas a la vez.

From Wikipedia:
This dramatic anthology of four episodes represents the collaborative effort of Mariano De Rosa, Rodrigo Moreno, Salvador Roselli, and Nicolás Saad. Each wrote and directed an episode.

The picture has four vignettes and all of them take place in the late 1990s in Buenos Aires during political elections.

The Wish: centers on a poor boy from the country who finds success in the fast city by participating in one of its many illegal operations.

Life and Works: follows a band of Paraguayan bricklayers as they try to reestablish a sense of cultural pride and community after meeting a woman whom one of them believes is the Virgin Mary.

Hard Times: follows a teenage outcast and his efforts to find romance with an upper-class Buenos Aires girl.

Comrades: the sound recorder of a political campaign finds himself falling for the candidate's girlfriend
