- Synopsis
- 1934, Bolivia is at war with Paraguay. A group of Aymara and Quechua indigenous soldiers are commanded by the Captain, a retired German officer fighting for the Bolivian Army. The troop walks lost, looking for their enemy in the middle of the thicket and dryness of the Chaco forest. The Lieutenant and his group of creole officers accompanying Captain, resent the frustration of not finding battle and the General's constant disorientation. Extreme weather and hostile terrain conditions, ranging from absolute dryness to harsh storms, severely hamper the situation of the makeshift army. Division, derelitude and lonelyness, while they roam the sands of the Chaco, searching for an enemy they will never find. The indigenous soldiers and creole officers, thirsty and sick, walk like shadows, wandering forever in the middle of dust and silence.
