Plot
Torcuato Ferreyra is a veteran of the Spanish Civil War who managed to amass a great fortune in Argentina after betraying his best friend, Bruno Salvat. At the end of the 30s, Bruno arrives in Argentina, in order to avenge Torcuato's treachery and rescue his sister Julia, who fell into the clutches of a pimp. Bruno gets asylum in a typical conventillo in Buenos Aires and from there he begins to plot his revenge plan.
However, while plotting his plan, Bruno falls madly in love with Lucía Morel, the young and beautiful fiancée of Torcuato Ferreyra. Lucía is an intelligent, feminist and sensitive young woman who only agrees to marry Torcuato at the insistence of her vile mother to get money for the operation of her father, who is sick with tuberculosis. Meanwhile, Aldo, a good-hearted hustler who is dedicated to convincing Spanish immigrants to embark towards Argentina under the pretext of being the land of opportunities, will do his best to rescue a young and beautiful Polish girl, Raquel, from the brothel where Julia is.
Other subplots of the telenovela include the romance between two young boys, Nino and Malek, the repressed homosexuality of Lucia's mother and the unrequited love of Alicia, Torcuato's sister, for Aldo.

Sequel
The last episode of the 2019 season closed with a flashforward scene, set in the 1960s. In this scene, Trauman is a barman and Alicia is alive, and a new crime lord akin to her late brother. Adrián Suar confirmed that he had the intention to make a new season of the series, and started to design the plots with writers Loe Calderone and Carolina Aguirre. Mercedes Funes, Fernán Mirás, Eugenia Suárez, and Federico Salles were suggested as possible actors, although they have not signed a contract about it yet. Benjamín Vicuña, whose character died in the last episode, would not be part of it. The season would also introduce two new characters, the son of Torcuato and the daughter of Raquel, who would share the motivations of their parents. It was not mentioned who would play those characters.[13]
Airing
The first season was aired during 2019, from March 11 to December 30.
Separadas replaced it at the prime time in 2020, but it was cancelled as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic in Argentina. El Trece replaced it with reruns, and aired the first season of Argentina... again on June 22.[14] It performed poorly against Telefe, that aired the Brazilian telenovela Jesus and a rerun of Educando a Nina.[15]
