Synopsis
Tomas works for an international company which devotes no time to caring for the natural resources of their country. He's sent to Peninsula Valdes, a region in Patagonia, under false pretences in order to investigate and get the town people's agreement to settle down a giant tourist venture disregarding the regional economies. After having been in contact with the town people's generosity and getting to know a marvelous world which was completely new to him, he is naively unmasked and his identity is revealed, but bearing no bad intentions Tomas is desperate about his mission failure. He eventually meets Jose--a wise man who knows the place very well but who is completely illiterate in the art of writing. Tomas teaches Jose how to read and write and Jose shares with Tomas his knowledge of the land, the scenery and the fauna.
