At the end of the world, day in, day out, three men take on the southern ocean and its legends. They leave their families and brave the cold and the storms to go and meet the isolated fishermen in the infamous Cape Horn islands. Some launch themselves into these epic channels through greed, others for love of the sea or family need, but all agree on the importance of carrying forward this endangered traditional livelihood and brotherly sharing.

In March 2020, a Brussels collective of directors began discussions on Skype with eight front-line caregivers, mobilized in the face of the Covid pandemic. As the months go by, speech becomes freer. Weakened, these workers share their commitment, their suffering, their fight. The more the wear and tear is felt, the more the film highlights a failing care system.

Through a patient observation, this film takes us into the underworld of Bolivian miners, specifically the ancestral Cerro Rico mine.
