In this journey many things will be shown. You will see dusty streets and uncontaminated landscapes. The sun will go down on forgotten prairies, taken care of by their last guardians. You will see men and women on the run and you will listen to their voices telling stories never heard before. The main theme of this trip will be the Ruta 40, a historic route that runs from north to south of the Patagonia region. Our adventure will lead us on the tracks of those who tried to hide their own traces, starting with Nazi hierarchs escaped from Germany to avoid the Nuremberg trial, going on with the last hippie communities that are still trying to achieve their utopia of a perfect world. We will also try to track down those who were made to disappear within the untold tragedy of the desaparecidos ; to end up with those who change name and identity in order to become a cattle farmer and live at a different pace, like a true cowboy. Chronicles of a journey, amidst enquiry, folklore and spirituality.
