An Argentine film director receives a scholarship and travels to Mexico to develop a documentary project about literacy processes among indigenous peoples in Latin America. Over the course of 70 days, he records a travel diary, influenced by a view from his hotel window: a bust of his distant uncle, Ernesto Guevara de la Serna. With this imprint, he observes the world around him and also within himself, the relationship with his daughter in times of declining family and patriarchal structures. This symbiosis creates an emotional journey that intertwines a father's love and anguish with a poetic, political, and social manifesto.
