The story is set against a backdrop of socio-economic struggles in Buenos Aires, focusing on the lives of a modest family intertwined with themes of class, aspiration, and familial duty. The narrative introduces Pampa, a young indigenous servant, who yearns for a more vibrant existence while constrained by her mundane household tasks, and Quilito, the son of the family, representing the aspirations and contradictions within their social status.

As she dreams of participating in the festivities, reality quickly interrupts her thoughts with chores, drawing attention to her labor and social position. Meanwhile, Quilito, who is depicted as the family's pride and hope, grapples with the expectations placed upon him and aspirations beyond his humble beginnings.
