As in a western, the strength of the film lies in the splendid silence of the Mapuche landscapes of southern Argentina. During his transhumance, the tenderness of Don Ernaldo, his children and his siblings, is scratched by the hostile barbed wire, laid for profitable economic purposes, which the natives always despise and assimilate to the poor. They organize their survival between modernity and necessary resistance.
