    • Synopsis
    • By the yoke shows us two families of waste recyclers trying to move on after losing their working tools: their horses.

      With the aid of their Union, Daniel and Matías try to get back their recently confiscated horse; while Marcelo and Alicia try to get their own vehicle to keep on working.

      Consigned to the margins of Montevideo city, in the intimacy of their homes and through their daily struggle, we meet this moving people, that carry their lives by the yoke, with dignity, a profound optimism and perseverance.
