Through this documentary work, we gain access to the creative intimacy of José Castillo, unequivocally one of the forerunners of animated cinema in Venezuela. With its original and poetic artisan style, it overcomes the frontiers of conventional filmmaking, to build a unique, original and unforgettable work.

Looking for extras and locations, a filmmaker settles on Chiloé, the second largest island off the coast of Chile. He does auditions, but mainly listens patiently to the stories of young and old people. As an outsider, he cautiously searches for the soul of the community and its underlying tensions.
