In the stunning landscape of the Patagonian hills in the 1960s, an Argentine family meets a German physician on the long road to the city of Bariloche. As the first guest at the family’s newly opened inn, a wealthy doctor ingratiates himself into their home life with his charisma and his scientific knowledge.
