By Master of Puppets.
Mateo is a guy from Gualeguaychú, Argentina and lives with his grandmother, a sister, his dog and his father (who is partially insane). His mother died in a car crash. He has a girlfriend (María), who he loves, but rarely meets. He is very bad at playing football because occasionally his left leg “sleeps”.
Terrified by the overwhelming mass media propaganda announcing death and desolation by the launching of the cellulose plant of Botnia, he decides to lock himself in his room.
It is there, in his self-imposed confinement, that he starts writing a testimonial blog where he complaints to the world about his environment, life and body, mutated by pollution. He also asks that his readers help him by making decisions through open voting. Decisions that can be life threatening
Passing the first few days in his room and realizing he hasn’t died from the "Smell of Botnia", he decides (always helped by the blog’s readers) to build a bunker. The best place to do it is at his neighbor’s. He kills the old Volonté and occupies the basement with his father.
There he discovers the old man was a Nazi refugee in Argentina, who experimented on humans. Everything CLOSES even more when he finds in the basement some horrendous mutants. The research was financed by Busti, governor of Entre Rios at that time, in order to incriminate Botnia.
Sheltered in this house, Mateo decides to liberate the mutants and escape by some tunnels discovered in the basement. to cover up his neighbour's murder, he sets the house on fire. His father dies, accidentally burned, but before dying he reveals he is adopted.
Already in the tunnels, they conduct him to different key places in the city of Gualeguaychú. He decides to go to an abandoned pub but he finds the secret hideout of the supposedly dead Yabrán. Using the same tunnel, Mateo finds an entrance to the Cathedral of the city. He decides to go home to talk to his grandmother about his real past.
Grandmother confirms he is adopted and the contact to discover his past is a so called naná living in Uruguay. Carlitos, his loyal friend, contacts a smuggler to cross illegally into Uruguay. He also puts him aware that Naná is the most famous prostitute of Uruguay.
Mateo hates Uruguay for all the pain it is causing him and the terrible pollution that the country generates on his beloved Argentina. However, he must discover his past and also visit María, as she is Uruguayan and lives in Fray Bentos.
He illegally crosses the River Uruguay by boat with the smuggler, bringing his dog. Painfully, Mateo discovers María with another man who, even worse, is Finnish and working in Botnia. Furious, he decides to abduct María.
He steals a car and goes to the Brothel of Naná in Punta del Este. She reveals his two real surnames and the location of his mother and father.
Mateo decides to meet his mother so, with María still in the trunk of the car, he travels to Rivera. He concludes that the best love is the unfinished one and kills María, throwing the body in a river. He meets his real mother who is happily married and with children.
His mother reveals that he was born in Uruguay and his father died in the Malvinas War. He also discovers that his mother is Brazilian. In that moment, he doesn’t know what to do with his life, and sees his identity as an Argentinean Macho vanishing before his eyes. Knowing he may be pursued by the Uruguayan police for the disappearance of his girlfriend, he decides to return to Argentina to find his real paternal family that, according to what Naná said, lives in Captain Bermúdez.
But things in Argentina are no longer as they were before. The mutants liberated from Volonté’s basement have multiplied dramatically, and are now desolating Gualeguaychú. He flees to Captain Bermúdez with Carlitos and his dog.
Seeking his father's family he is astonished to find that his father, who fortunately is Argentinean, is alive. Knowing that the mutants are spreading and that the army has quarantined the entire province, he schemes an urgent plan to cross the line of infection.
Mateo, his father and Carlitos take refuge at the Abbey of the Baby Jesus with 20 monks, armed to the teeth waiting Doomsday, but they can not withstand the onslaught of mutants and must flee. Mateo faints from the suffering of terrible pain in his left leg.
Once again in Captain Bermúdez, he hides with the survivors at the local cellulose plant. The city is empty. Everyone has fled or dead. The army surrounds the province to prevent the spread of the mutation.
Sick, Mateo receives the unpleasant news that his leg must be amputated, as it is gangrened. It is a strange hereditary disease since his father lost the same leg for the same reason, not being a war wound as Mateo thought.
Mateo refuses. Amputation would be without anesthesia. In the meantime he witnesses the emergence of a new kind of mutant: Walrus-Men. But they disappear mysteriously in the evening.
Deciding to flee the city at dusk, they run away driving several kilometers and discover the reason of the nocturnal disappearance of the Walrus-Men. One falls in front of the car, causing them to overturn, forcing them to float at night and precipitate* during the day.
Mateo makes his last post locked in a shack in the countryside where he arrived, crawling painfully. He says goodbye to his public, assuming he’d die from the infection of his leg or bitten by these dreadful mutant beasts.
