Changing the Story: Voices of the Land highlights the daily struggles of environmental and Indigenous rights defenders in Latin America, centering their voices, emotions, and resistance.

Two thirty-somethings who have been a couple in adolescence meet again after many years. Through a series of fortuitous events, they end up spending the night together, touring the city and trying to reflect on who they were and who they are today.

Four teenagers occupy an abandoned house, in a working-class neighborhood in the outskirts of Buenos Aires. They seek to build a shelter where they can escape from family abandonment, neighbor´s cruelty, and the constant stalking by the police. In a seemingly desolate neighborhood, with factory sounds and rusty walls, the four teenagers are constantly observed by people around them. Inhabit narrates the transitory, the impossibility of building and creating a sense of belonging in a hostile place with a marginalizing environment.
