Synopsis

The conjuror Tulan (also dagger-swallow, hypnotist and whatever) crosses the deserts of western Argentina with his wife Marta in an old truck. Buenos Aires is more than a thousand kilometres away - even the Chilean capital Santiago is closer by. Their marriage has degenerated over the years. Tulan treats his wife like a doormat, while he behaves like a real Don Juan to other women. Marta submits to her sad fate. Then she gets company from the blonde Jenifer, who has just broken up with her boyfriend Tito. A dwarf and the beautiful 15-year-old Martita join them too. They all have a personal goal, but at the same time they are part of the group in which radical decisions, misunderstandings and rejections influence their relationships.
