In 2019 I worked at a museum as a security guard.

The work itself was dull.

But unlike other places,

during the night I could see works of art.

And that,

in one way or another,

stirred my imagination.

Yesterday I thought I sensed a robbery.

Here, in the museum?

Yes, I'm not sure. It came to me like a flash.

Don't scare me.

Do you want us to ask the pendulum?

Sure.

- That's not a pendulum. - It doesn't matter.

If you are a natural seer, you can read anything from a shoe sole

to a melting ice cream.

Just focus and ask silently.

Yes, I see a theft at the end of the month.

Should we warn control?

No.

I see something else.

What?

I see a skyrocketing of the dollar's value.

ARGENTINA SANK A BRITISH DESTROYER

I really want to see you.

Now?

Yes.

Should I go to your booth?

There's no much room here, it's uncomfortable.

Right.

I'm horny already.

Okay.

What are you wearing down there?

Nothing special.

- Lucrecia. - Copy.

We can hear everything on channel two.

Okay.

Your conversations have been recorded, and there's no way to delete them.

For your information, there's a protocol that require us to store

all internal communications that go through company-provided channels:

camcorders, linelines, cellphones, handies, emails, everything.

Nothing is ever deleted.

However, in Human Resources,

we tend to lean toward sanctions rather than layoffs.

If I were asked to choose, I'd rather be compensated.

MINISTRY OF ECONOMY

There wasn't any theft in the museum.

But one day,

several weeks later,

the dollar climbed from 15 to 62 pesos.

CURRENCY EXCHANGE!

I was unlucky to get fired,

but lucky enough to buy dollars with my severance pay.

Now it's as if I had been fired three times,

or as if I had earned triple the years of seniority.

What a scandal!

AN ODD TURN

Currency exchange!

Currency exchange!

Dollar, real, euro.

Currency exchange!

Dollar, euro, real, exchange, currency exchange!

Currency exchange.

Dollar, euro, real, currency exchange.

Dollar exchange.

Excuse me. Do you have a light?

I think I know you.

Your face looks familiar.

So does yours.

We exchanged glances once.

Are you still seeing that girl?

No.

We broke up about a month ago.

If you are up for it, we can go grab a drink sometime.

Yeah, why not?

Currency exchange.

Sorry for the mess.

I didn't think you'd come here so fast.

Hello?

I had a good time.

Me too.

If it were possible, I'd like to always have encounters like this.

Straightforward ones.

Like men who use Grindr.

What's that?

It's an app for casual meetings.

It's the simplest, most direct thing there is.

It uses your location,

so you can meet people within the same radius you are in.

Sounds good.

Yes.

It's so cold! Do you want anything to drink?

Tea, mate, whipped coffee?

A whipped coffee is just fine.

We need you to cover a shift at a cardboard cup factory

in Nueva Pompeya.

Your shift would start at eight.

You'd have to check the backpacks, bags,

and purses of all the employees.

You'll have an hour for yourself,

but keep in mind that there's a slum nearby.

You would be the only security guard,

so leaving would not be an option for now.

Do you follow me?

Yes. Which slum is it?

I don't know.

Let me find out?

The group closed a deal with an American coffee company.

Before this, the cups were imported,

but with the exchange rate at 60 pesos, bringing them from Mexico or the US

would be so expensive that all the Argentinian franchises would've to close.

Wouldn't it be easier to change the cup's design?

No, because the customers are already used to it.

The important thing now is that nobody takes the cups home.

Tomorrow might be something else.

Currency exchange!

Euro, dollar, exchange!

Dollar exchange!

Currency exchange.

Euro, dollar, real.

Sometimes, I sleep with some regular clients,

usually older ladies.

It all developed very naturally,

I go sell them dollars, and if something happens

I stay a bit longer.

And now what? Are you very busy?

When the dollar climbs, I do more home deliveries.

The other day I hooked up with a guy from that app.

I had never been with a guy that way before.

He suggested that the three of us meet up.

It's odd, but it could work.

I can ask him if he's free these days.

Okay.

Is he in the radius?

No, he's offline.

Bye.

Aren't you afraid of staying there so alone?

A lot.

But it's my job.

Of course.

See you tomorrow.

It also resembles you.

Yes, good night.

I brought you hot chocolate. Drink it before it cools.

Thank you.

Rabia, my dear...

Do you remember you told me

that if I listened to my heart

it might hurt?

Ask something about the future.

No, but ask it out loud, otherwise I can't hear you.

Are these noises going to stop?

No.

But ask something personal about yourself.

I don't know.

Okay, I'll ask for you.

Are you going to fall in love?

It says "yes."

Do you want me to ask with whom?

I'd rather keep it a mystery.

What are you doing?

Now I'm intrigued.

I don't wanna know.

There's no way of turning the lights on, right?

No, there's no one here.

It's just you and me alone.

Could it be a ghost?

Do you believe in that stuff?

A little bit.

The dog looks way older.

Yes, poor thing.

I'm older too.

You're not.

You've just grown up.

But someday you'll get old too.

Are you still in a relationship?

No.

We ended it two or three weeks ago.

I'm sorry.

Thought it'd be better to meet somewhere neutral.

That's okay. Damian isn't here yet, right?

I have no idea, I haven't seen his face yet.

He's that one there.

He's good-looking.

That very night,

the dollar climbed from 62 to 106 pesos.

It's 500 dollars in twenties.

Did I make you come for too little?

No, not at all.

That would be 53,000 pesos.
