Synopsis by Jason Buchanan
As a child Manuel never knew his father, and as an adult the allure of exploring his origins simply becomes too powerful to resist. Setting out across the roads of Patagonia to attend the funeral of a distant relative, Manuel soon finds romance with a beautiful young photographer named Carolina. Though their initial romance is quickly shattered when Manuel is thrown in jail, he soon escapes back to Carolina while the corrupt police officers beat another inmate to death. As Manuel and Carolina take flight to escape the wrath of a murderous cop, the young lovers maneuver through the countryside in hopes of not only forging a future, but discovering the past as well.
