Synopsis

For Santiago, being a successful designer comes second to the role of husband to Milli and a loving father to daughter Josefina.

Reappearing at a desolate airport in the frozen lands of Patagonia, and changed beyond recognition, he numbs his pain through arduous work. Tormented by the ghosts of the unalterable past, Santiago must re-engage with the present to remain one step ahead of insanity.
