Cement is extracted from an open pit mine in Argentina. It is used to build gated communities on the sacred sites of indigenous peoples. And not far from the construction sites, dinosaur bones are found, delaying further construction. The consequences: Enraged cacique spirits, enthusiastic scientists, resigned construction workers. In black-and-white images that are as poetic as they are concrete, Bolivian director Eduardo Gómez develops a political essay that shows the complex relationships between the worlds. Day laborers, paleontologists and indigenous people give us a glimpse into their everyday lives; social structures intertwine like the epochs of history.
