Brief synopsis

Valdiva, South Chile. Hundreds of fish corpses are floating on the river. The cows as well will later be caught by a strange illness. In order to take care of her father, weakened by a heart attack, Cecilia (45) goes with her two children to the family farm. When Magdalena (33) rises from the dead after her suicide, family secrets resurface. In the midst of this surreal atmosphere where agonizing animals sing songs about the future of humanity, the members of the family will have to let themselves be guided by the voices of nature in order to unravel their own mysteries.
