On an arid and rocky land, crushed under a merciless blue sky, frustrated men, a father and his sons. In destitution and poverty, the conflict between them can only be resolved by death. Prisoners of the mute splendor of the spaces that surround them, of its slow breathing, they struggle against their own violence, constantly clashing with reality, with all that it has to give. Death falls upon them with indifference.
