Alla periferia di Buenos Aires, dietro alti muri perimetrali, al di là di cancelli rinforzati e affiancati dalle garitte della vigilanza, si trova il complesso residenziale di lusso Altos de la Cascada. Fuori, la strada, la baraccopoli di Santa Maria de los Tigrecitos, l'autostrada, la città, il resto del mondo. Ad Altos de la Cascada vivono famiglie facoltose che hanno lo stesso stile di vita e che vogliono mantenerlo, costi quel che costi. In quest'oasi dorata di pace e tranquillità, un gruppo di amici si riunisce una volta alla settimana lontano dalla vista dei figli, delle donne di servizio e soprattutto delle mogli che, escluse da questi incontri virili, si autonominano, ironicamente, "le vedove del giovedì". Ma una notte la routine si spezza rivelando il lato oscuro di una vita "perfetta".

I loved the sense of humour ... Each week I did the final test with bated breath wondering if this time the little bar chart [...] would take a nose dive - but it didn't.
