Beneath a still, damp landscape in southern Chile, Alex and Patricio carry out their farm work day after day; the transformations of the land gradually dissolve their certainties. Directed by Javier Correa and produced by Artistas Felices, the film premiered at the 19th Valdivia International Film Festival (2012), then screened at the 17th FIDOCS in Santiago.

Every day, in the middle of the winter night, the men begin the first milking. The intensity and noise of the work leave no pause; at daybreak, the truck comes to load the milk and leaves at once. Everything ends when darkness returns. The film is part of the “Cineastas de Valdivia” collection and can be watched online on the festival’s platform.
