Set during the Perón-era expansion of aviation in Argentina, a young man named Martín Méndez Izarrueta arrives to learn to fly an Aeronca Champion aircraft. The instructor emphasizes that the plane must be treated “like a woman.” As Martín learns aerobatics, the narrative parallels his flight maneuvers with increasingly erotic imagery involving the instructor’s wife. The story builds toward a sexualized climax intercut with aerobatic precision. It ends with the father proudly declaring himself “un campeón en la Champion,” while Martín earns approval for his aerial skills.
