Walking the fine line between reality and fiction, the camera follows a woman exploring the suburbs of Buenos Aires. On the edge of the city, where people are scarce, the seasons, the moods and a series of unexpected events melt into one another, bowing to the ultimate one-woman-show of the season.

Argentina. Nature. Somewhere in the outskirts of Buenos Aires, a woman walks across the fields with her dogs as her sole company, as they run and roll on the ground. The camera follows as the seasons change, melting into one another. The sky changes colors and the wind changes directions. The only thing that stays the same is her persistent existential exploration and the company of her four-legged friends. A portrait of a character who lives outside the contstraints of society, a unique journey of discovery - the truth is out there – and a tribute to man’s unbreakable bond with nature. Stripped of conventional narrative, it’s mostly a loose collection of deeply humane vignetes immersed in the main character’s psyche that looks like nothing you’ve ever seen before – at least not it this year’s festival!
