Synopsis
Martín (10) and Uriel (17) are brothers who live in an Indigenous community in Argentina. Uriel wants to move to the city after finishing school. Martín, who loves telling stories and inventing tales, shares with his friend Alan a story about his brother’s departure to the lands of the conquest, where the observational documentary gradually transforms into a noir fiction performed by the Indigenous community members themselves.
