In 1934, Bolivia is at war with Paraguay. Liborio and Ticona and other Bolivian indigenous soldiers are lost in the hell of the Chaco, under the commandment of German Captain Kundt. They're looking for the Paraguayan enemy that they haven't seen for months, and that they will never find. They leave together in a search that will make them realize, progressively, the destiny they have been pushed into and the inevitable condition of a defeated troop. They're walking like shadows, wandering forever in the middle of dust and silence.

[FICX] The unknown war, which pitted Paraguayans and Bolivians against bordering grounds, was actually an oil war. This chronicle of nonsense is carried out by a group of Quechua and Aymara soldiers, the spoils sent to their deaths. A war in which you don't die from gunshots, but from hunger and thirst. The desert as the scene of a hostile game, sometimes absurd, like asking some indigenous people if they are Paraguayans or Bolivians. The film is calm, perhaps too. But it contains images that remain.
