Misael Saavedra

Lisandro Alonso returns to La Pampa, to the same locations of Freedom, to shoot his Carta para Serra (or Sin título), with a camera that seems to float among the vegetation. He has the company of Misael Saavedra, and yet instead of looking back (or making a tribute to his actors, because that was the subject in Fantasma) this movie seeks to be a prologue for his next one.

A father and daughter journey from Denmark to an unknown desert that exists in a realm beyond the confines of civilization.

Misael works alone with his axe, cutting down trees in the woods. An unexpected responsibility upends his life, and the logic of his days fades away in a nature where human reason holds no meaning.

A man chops down trees, organizes the trunks, cleans them, stops to defecate, has lunch, takes a nap and continues to sell his timber.

A solitary man's only pastime is to go to a movie theatre, the Teatro San Martín, on Corrientes Avenue in Buenos Aires. There he exorcises his ghosts.
