Un anziano eremita, che ha deliberatamente reciso ogni legame con la società, conduce una vita di totale isolamento nella sua casa remota. La sua routine solitaria viene sconvolta quando trova un giovane, seminudo e muto, privo di sensi vicino alla sua proprietà.

Questo atto di gentilezza rompe lentamente il suo isolamento autoimposto, ma introduce anche una crescente tensione e un fitto mistero sulla vera identità e le intenzioni del visitatore.

In the face of U.S. aggression, says Chávez, “Venezuelan communes and ... continua
