A diviner in the desert. An expert fish breeding craftsman. The carps: nothing less than a plague. The "mojarra desnuda", a small fish breeding only in Meseta springs. The hydraulic works on Rio Negro, watering McCain's potato fields, which supply McDonald's restaurants with French fries. A mechanic acting in a classical sainete called El conventillo de la Paloma. The director of a tiny museum claiming that: "We, the white people, were almost more evil than the Indios". A piano player leaving La Plata for a healthier climate. An agronomist fond of GMOs. An abandoned vineyard on the desert border, once cultivated by an Italian immigrant. A former building contractor who is now a chacarero and paleta player. A former superintendent who knows how to cook carps.
This is life in Luis Beltràn, a tiny village on Choele Choel Island, Rio Negro, Patagonia Argentina. The film tells about it, blending everyday matters with complex issues such as ecology, the intermingling of public and private life, and the human search for a lugar en el mundo.
