    • Synopsis
    • A man in a small boat reaches an island on the Paraná River.
      He heads towards a site where there used to be a house or small village. Now there is nothing.
      Slight signs of something old and lost: where he was born.
      His presence allows the things in the abandoned place to materialize: huts and tables, animals and canoes.
      He rebuilds, to occupy once again, the space for a gathering.
      Soon others arrive on the island: Wife, Father, Friends, Children ... they prepare a celebration.
      This is a coming together of the Man and his loved ones. With the dead, the birds, the river's music and his pain.
