Synopsis

Spoiler shield

A rushing river caresses the life of a small town in southern Argentina: Choele Choel. Coco is an eleven-year-old kid who intensely wishes to be a grown-up, to be a man. A walk along the river with Johana -his new Venezuelan neighbor- initiates Coco in the adult world. But his father and life itself slow him down and make him feel small and insignificant; just a child. When life gets complicated it is probably best to let oneself go with the flow and float down the river like a drifting log.

“Coco is an eleven-year-old kid who intensely wishes to be a grown-up, to be a man.”
