Synopsis

Spoiler shield

Two men of low life travel by car under a sweltering sun. They do not find the place they are looking for, lost in a remote Argentine countryside. They arrive at a workshop to ask questions and events seem to take off. The short was part of "Short Stories I" (1995).

“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
