    • Synopsis
    • A man travels to the Argentine north following the leads of a mythical pre-Columbian entity in charge of the relatives’ sorrow. The roads at night, the inns and the large salina of Zelarayán’s poem reject anthropological shortcuts and build up a mystery that is perhaps as formidable as the very bearer of sorrow.
