Juan Carlos is an indigenous leader who has fought for the autonomy of his Mapuche community, but he has his own dilemma. Many question him of being a traitor because he agreed to work for the Chilean government, as a path to land reclamation. In the privacy of his home, he shares his concerns, while his animals watch the tension that grows as the seasons unfold. The film places us at the center of the daily life of Juan Carlos and his peasant family, while projecting the drama he must face as a result of the tensions between the Mapuche themselves due to the conflict with the Chilean State.
