In the Argentine Pampas, life seems to be on hold. A prolonged drought is killing off the livestock and threatening the existence of Omar, a farmer, his nonagenarian mother and Libertad, his 4-year-old granddaughter.

This documentary film explores the life of Cuban revolutionary poet Roberto Fernández Retamar, who, from the Casa de las Américas, has served as a link between the revolution and leading contemporary writers and thinkers.
