In an inn located in a jungle region near Mene Grande, a traveler from other times relives the history of a city and its inhabitants; consumed by the oil rush that led to its downfall. The short film seeks to adapt the essence of Latin American magical realism to the cinematographic language, through a Venezuelan play written by César Rengifo.
The film reproduces the historical moment when Cipriano Castro, then president of Venezuela, proclaimed: "The insolent plant of the foreigner has desecrated the sacred soil of the fatherland!" While the coasts were invaded by imperial forces in 1902.
Under a merciless rain, a man escapes from a relentless adversary. Exhausted, the man finds shelter in a house lost in the mountains. Once inside, his escape will become a search towards the obscure force that took him there.
