    • Synopsis
    • Raúl is an unemployed cattleman that lives in an isolated house on the lonely vastness of the fields. The traditional workmanship of dealing with the pastures is no longer useful to the landowners. The landscape of huge pastures with cattle is being superimposed by huge soy plantations. Devastated by poverty and unemployment, he joins a gang of other peasants that steals cattle during the darkness of the nights on the pastures.
      Upon returning on another morning, he finds his house empty; his wife and children missing.
