Payaguala is a Tehuelche man who lives alone on a remote ranch in Patagonia. His daily life is mainly based on working and caring for his land. One day, just like any other, he receives a package delivered by the Argentine Gendarmerie. It is a box marked with the National Coat of Arms sent by the Ministry of Social Development. It contains a satellite television system. The first image that radiates from the television will cause him to experience a change that will affect his way of seeing the world.
