One of the most inventive authors of personal documentary travels in the footsteps of William Henry Hudson—an Argentine gaucho who went on to become an ornithologist, naturalist and English writer, whose books were praised by Borges and Conrad.

The echoes of Hudson’s and Di Tella’s own past lives resonate throughout the film, creating an atmosphere in which the intimate and the universal are inseparably intertwined.

— Juan Pablo Russo, EscribiendoCine

Behind the hero’s story, the history of the whole of Argentina emerges, and behind the enigmatic figure of the writer appears the director himself. Refusing the conventional biographical approach, he lets into the film his own feelings from the journey, fantasies, and even dreams. The viewer is invited to fill the vastness of the Argentine steppe with his own mental and intellectual experience.
