Ulf Drechsel, a German entomologist, Jota Escobar, a Paraguayan ornithologist, and the film director explore the Gran Chaco, a vast natural area under threat from deforestation and illegal fires. They find a devasted landscape: interrupted dirt roads bordered by barren trees. The apocalyptic scene inspires philosophical discussion tinged with tragedy and black humor. Scientific analysis gives way to thinking about human existence, ending in a bitter conclusion about our fate. A hard look and an affectionate glance at nature, both frail and resilient.
