Like most Argentines, Tati, a young man from the Misiones province, is Maradona crazy. Despite having no job and practically no cash, he maintains his cheerful spirit. The TV announcement of Maradona's admission to the Swiss-Argentine Hospital in Buenos Aires with heart problems is enough for the man to hit the road for the capital in order to personally give him the wooden resemblence he carries over the hills wrapped in newspaper along with a bag full of other carvings he hopes to sell. Setting out, he meets Warguinho as he proceeds on a voyage full of surprises and encounters. Will he be able to deliver the sculpture to his idol?
Un joven de la provincia de Misiones es un fan loco de Maradona. La televisión informa del estado crítico de Diego, invadido por las drogas y con el cuerpo maltrecho, su internamiento en una clínica y su posible traslado a Cuba. El joven decide viajar a Buenos Aires para hacer entrega a Diego de una talla esculpida en madera. La figura del futbolista y sus avatares de salud son sólo un pretexto para que Carlos Sorin, director de Historias mínimas y Bombón, el perro, construya una road movie peculiar en la que se vuelve a poner de manifiesto su talento inigualable para retratar los personajes y las historias mínimas.
