Vargas is a 54 year-old man who gets out of prison in the province of Corrientes, Argentina. Now that he’s free, he wants to find his now adult daughter who lives in a swampy remote area in the middle of the jungle. In order to get there, he has to travel long distances in a small boat, through a labyrinth of rivers carved upon the thick bush. Vargas is a silent and introvert man, with the usual reserve of those who live close to nature. Around him, there is a great mystery ‚ present in the people he finds and with whom he shares the Mate ritual, and in the places he passes by ‚ taking over a world that remains unchanged for him, despite the many years he spent in jail. Minute by minute, Vargas discovers the world, as he makes his way through the jungle in a canoe, moving towards his daughter’s house.
