El Futuro Perfecto tells the story of a young Chinese woman named Xiaobin who emigrates to Argentina. Sharing her sense of displacement, we follow Xiaobin as she attends Spanish classes, works her day job at a butcher shop, and struggles to pass through the language barrier in a new culture. A subtle love story permits the surface of this quiet drama as Xiaobin's journey of self-identification leads her to a crossroads where she must find the courage to determine her own future, rather than the future her family intends for her.
