Logline
Years after abandoning a project about the men who live on the banks of South America’s La Plata River, filmmaker Igor Galuk found negatives more than half a century old that bore a striking similarity to his own work. Reinvigorated, Galuk undertakes a trip along the riverbanks of Argentina and Uruguay, reflecting on this enduring land and the people who remain.
