    • Synopsis
    • The summer is approaching and, in the Patagonian steppe, the water and the grass are scarce. From the deserted location of Curaco, in northern Neuquén, a family of small caprine producers -the Alarcons- follow the historical tracks of transhumance on the way to Cordillera del Viento. They must go on a pilgrimage of hundreds of kilometers in order to get to the summer pasture in order to feed the new breeding of kids. Don Atilio Alarcón, singer-songwriter and criancero (goatherd), reflects on his own roots and those of this trade that is closely related to the land as well as nature’s cycles. A way of life that is becoming extinct and erodes like the persistent force of the wind envelops and shells the soil. Or an ancestral legacy capable of resprouting in the inheriting generations.
