Synopsis
A bolivian family living in Argentina runs a greengrocer in Buenos Aires. In order to get employees for their business, they travel to Bolivia after eight years of absence. During the trip they meet their relatives, their friends and their abandoned traditions. But everything has changed and Bolivia does not seem to be its place either. This author's documentary attempts a subjective look at the issue of immigration, allowing the protagonists to be the ones who carry the story forward.
