In an antediluvian jungle underneath leaves, we catch sight of two dead boys and their murderer. Then the film takes a leap many years forward in time to the intriguing old man, Vargas. His last day in jail has dawned and he is getting ready to taste freedom again. For the rest of the story, Vargas is on his way to his daughter who lives on an island in the jungle. In silence, he is one with the jungle and the river that takes him both forward and back in time. In this silence is the gruesome secret that Vargas bears with him. | Alonso, Lisandro Lisandro Alonso (born 1975, Buenos Aires)
