Synopsis:

It has always been said that Uruguay is a country without Indians. Roberto and Mónica, two descendants of the Charrúas, preserve their roots and make us look back at History to question the present. In a society that denies part of its origin, the search for identity becomes a challenge. Roberto, a rural worker from Paysandú, and Mónica, a maths teacher from Montevideo, experience — each in their own way — what it’s like to be indigenous these days.
