On Christmas Eve a troubled man escapes from his stress into a forest. He comes across 4 pine cones. They each reveal a Christmas terror which escalates into a real life horror.

This is a movie about Uruguayans who want to make fiction films. We visited various filmmakers seeking to capture the enormous diversity of stories, realities, and sensibilities through the scripts they are writing. We get to know their neighborhoods and homes, and then we get closer to the ways in which each of them adapt the fantasies that have been born in their minds and hearts. In this way, we portray how they experience cinema and what would mean for them to make their film come true.

A gripping tale of family, resilience, and the dark secrets that rise from the ashes of a fallen world.
