Plot

Jorge Trolombatti (Porcel) is employed by Tevelunga magazine. The editorial director proposes writing an article about the influx of transvestites during the summer in Mar del Plata. In order to accomplish this, he recruits Alberto (Olmedo), a flamboyant photographer. The plan is for the two of them to blend in with the scene discreetly and create the most captivating article of the season. Although Jorge initially wants no part in this scheme, he is eventually coerced by his boss and reluctantly agrees.

Unbeknownst to Jorge and Alberto, two other colleagues from the same magazine are sent to keep an eye on their work. Upon arriving in Mar del Plata, a city known as the "Ciudad Feliz" or "Happy City," the story takes a humorous turn as unexpected and comical mishaps begin to unfold amidst the bustling summer season. As they delve deeper into the transvestite scene, Jorge and Alberto start to sense something peculiar, gradually building up to an action-packed and laughter-filled climax.
