Synopsis

Santiago (Guillermo Pfening) is a successful interior designer living in Buenos Aires with a wife, Milli (Martina Gusman) and daughter, Josefina (Victoria Vescio). When a tragic incident occurs unexpectedly, he turns his back on city life and emerges in the frozen wilderness of the Patagonia.

A changed man, Santiago begins a self-imposed penance, isolated from everyone he used to know. Yet a warm camaraderie and humour characterise the newfound friendships he forges and they offer hope to a soul tormented by the ghosts of an irreversible past. Santiago must re-engage with the present to remain one step ahead of insanity.
