An educational project that supports a Mapuche community on their annual journey in search of pastures for their goats and sheep. A school that becomes a meeting point for diverse worldviews and invites us to consider education in these times.

50 years can be golden even though the knees hurt, even if the air isn’t the same or a layer of distress settles on one corner of the brain. The protagonist reflects on his fifty, shoots a film about endless loves and inquires, with existential humor, into the daily struggle of living.

How does a community process the silent complicity behind the disappearance of a teacher during the last civil-military dictatorship? Where are the traces of the denunciation? After the kidnapping and disappearance of Spanish teacher Luis Oscar "Pato" Lacoste, the governing body of the National School of Lobos (Buenos Aires province) classifies his absence as "abandonment of duty." Silvana, a teacher recently arrived in the town, tries to reconstruct an unresolved past.
