The “gaucho” tradition is considered here through the story of a couple who are now elderly and living in the hills of Northern Argentina. Starting with their daily routine, their gestures endlessly repeated throughout a life, we look at the details, like heating the water to prepare the mate, rearing goats, and sewing. Time seems to stand still. We also look at matter, the wood that forms the house, the mountainous and arid landscapes. Sometimes, the silence is broken by a prayer or a song that seems to weave the invisible link between the red earth and the starry sky.

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
