SYNOPSIS

These are the days before the carnival and while the gauchos prepare to carry out the ritual of cleaning the meat, the animals sense the arrival of the end. Completed the task, the countrymen cross the river that separates them from the city, attracted by the glare of the lights, they embark towards the great celebration. Masks cover faces and horses become Styrofoam totems in this fantasy world.
