A disquieting metaphor of recent stories, fears and oblivion unfolds beneath Buenos Aires.

Spoilers ahead
On 4 March, the controllers of the Buenos Aires Underground discover that train UM-86—a Siemens-Schuckert Orenstein & Koppel model—has vanished along with its passengers in the network of tunnels. Despite an across-the-board search that, in the film, is shown as far larger than reality, neither the train nor its riders turn up. To keep the incident out of the public eye, the director of SBASE reaches out to the engineering firm responsible for the line, hoping for answers. The firm responds by sending a young topologist Daniel Pratt instead of a seasoned engineer, a choice that instantly displeases the director.
