Valentín es un niño de nueve años que vive con su abuela. Su madre desapareció cuando él tenía tres años y su padre es un bala perdida incapaz de tomar responsabilidades. La vida de Valentín transcurre modesta y con dos obsesiones: convertirse en un astronauta y que su padre le lleve junto a su madre. Pero su padre no quiere remover el pasado y, además, no deja de decepcionarle presentándole novias horribles, hasta que llega Leticia.

Venerable Argentinian filmmaker Alejandro Agresti turns his lens to his own childhood in this nostalgic coming-of-age tale. Set in the director's hometown of Buenos Aires circa 1964, Valentin centers around its title character (and ostensible stand-in for the director), a nine-year-old boy (Rodrigo Noya) whose feuding parents have left him to be raised by his sage, eccentric grandmother (Carmen Maura).

With his father (Agresti) visiting only occasionally, Valentin is left to look to the other men in the neighborhood for father figures, and to replace his absent mother, he warms to Leticia (Julieta Cardinali), one of his father's many short-term girlfriends. When he tells her personal secrets about his father, however, Valentin jeopardizes their relationship.
