Best First Film winner for Daniel Burak at the 2004 Argentinian Film Critics Association Awards "Bar El Chino" is a rundown bar where the essence of friendliness and warmth are still alive. Friends create an enormous symbolization for Jorge Garces, also known as El Chino (The Chinese.) Jorge, a filmmaker, is celebrating his birthday and his friends invite him to "El Chino" Bar, a special place for him. For months he records images with the idea of capturing in his film the essence that the Bar transmits. One special night, celebrating his birthday, Jorge sees Martina (Jimena de la Torre), whom while on a television assignment for a special TV Show, is spellbound by the warmth of "El Chino." The images she records spark an interest and convince her to finish the project. With the help of Jorge. A new ending to the project begins an amorous new relationship between Martina and Jorge. However, the unexpected changes of life will mark their destinies and their love.

A moving story about various ways people relate to each other
Two video documenters see the same story in the community that has formed in "Bar 'El Chino'". In the bar there is music and dance and camaraderie Argentine style. The lives of the videographers are missing that same camaraderie. They are attracted to it at the bar, but struggle with it and with love in their own lives. The story line is predictable, except when it is not. Argentine dialect of Spanish with English subtitles.

Very educational movie depicting how the banking collapse in Spain affected the economy and livelihood in Argentina. It follows the lives of a few friends.
