Synopsis
A young couple is making a documentary about an aboriginal community in Argentina. In the process of editing the film, important conceptual differences arise between them, forcing them to question and reassess the meaning of their work. From their encounter with the community emerges a triangulation of universes that is characterized by as much isolation as proximity, representing their desire to understand and identify with the other, while still feeling that deep isolation.
