 Wesley Winthrop visits his friend Marcelo s bakery only to learn that Marcelo s roof has partially collapsed, causing his business to almost shut down. Wesley s apparent generosity in offering his "chum" his old roof is the setup for a series of events in which Marcelo is taken advantage of in the spirit of true friendship. Somehow Wesley s priorities always trump Marcelo s and the roof repair is always just out of reach. What ensues is absurd, tragic, and funny all at the same time.
