This short film offers a sobering look into the everyday toils of the Mapuche
people in Argentina as they struggle to maintain their impoverished
existence. Marginalized by mainstream Argentine society, the Capuche
were pushed off their land by white settlers, and are now forced
to live on the rocky slopes of barely-arable mountains where the
winters present mortal challenges to people who have all-but-abandoned
their cultural life in favor of human survival.
