Yvan De Wiel, a private banker from Geneva, travels with his wife, Ines, to Argentina in the midst of a dictatorship to replace his partner, the object of the most worrying rumours, who disappeared overnight. They visit Keys’ clients one after the other in order to reassure them and keep their custom. Upon their arrival however, the couple is faced with a hostile environment: a closed world where suspicion and desire underlie the seemingly relaxed social atmosphere. Azor follows the tracks of a missing character, Keys, who is confronted by his pursuer. A long-distance duel between two Swiss bankers with opposed styles and faced with the same tortuous and difficult situation ensues, amidst hushed colonialism that served to plunder a country which, in the early 1980s, was ravaged by state terrorism and which had become a jungle for aggressive finance operators.
