Two stories intertwine over the time. In the present, Felix, pessimistic and lazy teacher encounters a book that dazzles him, while he teaches geography in a detention center for minors. In the past, Rabindranath Tagore, Bengali poet, author of the book that has come to Felix, arrives in Argentina and is hosted by Victoria Ocampo, who lives a brief and innocent romance. Felix becomes more and more obsessed with the story of the poet.

A young woman, alienated by her work and confronted to her surroundings, falls into a depression that leads her to live in a sewer to find her identity. In there, life is no better; reality appears in images and alegoric figures that change its form and vanishes, without letting the woman communicate with anyone. It's a film with zero dialog in witch the songs takes us through the states of emotion.

Meanwhile in Argentina, Shantas is a young offender living in a marginal area tainted by the practices of Umbanda, a cult derived from African religions. None of us can even imagine the surprises that come in the destination.

Patricio Bedoya, Pablo Padilla
Hermes is an Argentine anthropologist who is living with the villagers of the Damara ethnic group in Namibia. Researching about the possible origins of mankind and specialized in the cosmogony of some people, he manages to obtain some results. He travels to Argentina searching an answer in San Felix, the last afro-descendant community in the country. Hermes provides a unique bridge that will help to recover the memory of a changed history, with the conviction that mankind descended from amphibious beings. But his desire of knowledge will show him how dangerous it is. Director Pablo Cesar specializes in co-productions between Argentina and Africa.
