2019103 min6.6 / 10

A contemplative drama about a fugitive boy and a pastor whose chance meeting becomes a transformative spiritual and emotional journey across a harsh landscape.

A boy escaped from home, listening, crouched in the depths of his hiding place, the cries of the men who seek him. When the game passes, what remains before him is an infinite and arid plain that he must cross if he wants to get away definitively from what has made him flee. His steps will intersect with those of a pastor and, from that moment, nothing will be the same for either of them.
