Juan, a quiet, skinny youth, wanders around a small town, early one morning, attempting to acquire the part necessary to fix the family car; along the way, he bumps into a number of oddballs and eccentrics, who do little but hinder his progress, in this beautifully simple, touchingly droll, and often quite hilarious character study, which ultimately proves to be really rather moving.
