Emi

Emi, 18, is starting to spread his wings, asserting his independence by spending more time away from home. He finds freedom in his first job at a motorcycle repair shop where he works under the tutelage of the gruff but patient Rodolfo. To his parents, he might seem increasingly aimless as he spends more and more time hanging around the garage, drifting around Buenos Aires on his motorcycle, and stealing away with his boyfriend, but Emi is led by a secret curiosity. Guided by a faint memory, he becomes increasingly focused on puzzling out the story of the biological parents who gave him up for adoption at birth.

The many definitions of family are at the heart of this unique and deeply nuanced adoption story, centered around an empathic young man with a penchant for fostering connection and honesty among those he meets. Within a complex web of characters and relationships formed by bonds beyond blood, Emi carves a space for himself in the world.
