 Argentina s economic crisis is in full swing when Lito and Nilda travel to New York. Visiting "The Big Apple" is Nilda s lifelong dream and Lito, her husband, submissively complies. She also plans to have a medical check up during their visit. But once in New York and despite Lito s warning, Nilda neglects her diet and has to be hospitalized. Lito is overwhelmed. On his own and penniless, he experiences a different side of New York. While his life in New York freezes, his ice factory in Buenos Aires melts. (Chicago 23rd Latino Film Festival Website)
