A group of filmmakers travel to a Kolla community in Salta to film their folkways. We see all aspects of their life: farming, herding, cooking, football, and making music during a Pachamama festival. In the course of filming, the leader of the Kolla community changes the filmmakers' view of what the documentary should be, and at the end of their visit they are changed. "La vida se puede ir amasando, como el barro": As life goes along, it becomes more pliant, like clay. An announcement at the beginning of the film states that this is neither fiction nor documentary, but I'd say it's closer to documentary.

The Sahara has been and is populated by peoples who have passed through and occupied it since time immemorial. The Sahrawis are one of these peoples. When Spain withdrew from its colony in 1976, Morocco invaded. Thousands have had to leave their lands to seek refuge in camps in the Sahara, in neighboring Algeria, and thousands have had to migrate to Spain and other destinations outside the Sahara. And it is the women who built the camps while the men fought, and it is they who have increasingly gained social, cultural, and political influence in the territory and in the diaspora. This is their history and their reality.

A search for the meaning of Héctor Tizón's novel, relating it to the life of its author. And the same, with the eponymous opera written as an adaptation of the novel by the composer Virtú Maragno. Also included is the documentary record of the Day of the Virgin and the Bullfighting with the Headband in Casabindo. Alongside this, a theatrical production incorporates fragments from both works to renew their meaning regarding the resistance of the Puna people to the usurpation of their lands, a central theme that runs through both the novel and the opera.

Los Últimos is the remake of the frustrated Pozo de Zorro, by Miguel Mirra himself. A group of soldiers is isolated after a bloody battle, but they refuse to surrender. The Malvinas war is approached by Miguel Mirra from a different perspective than that known until now. The Last Ones is a war drama where there is no room for guilt and commiseration.

The filmmaker accompanies Sara Mamani to her hometown of Salta, revisiting the places of her childhood and adolescence and her beginnings in music with Cuchi Leguizamón. At her home in Buenos Aires, where she has lived for many years, Sara recounts her musical journey, interspersed with archival footage of her performances, including one with Jaime Torres. Finally, Sara travels to Jujuy to participate once again in the Tilcara Carnival, as she has done for so many years—a popular festival that nourishes her words and her music.
