Beautifully filmed story set in a remote village, somewhere ‘to the south of the desert’ in Patagonia; a 13 year old boy starts to take a different view of the world around him and runs away from his parental home. Does he embark on a real journey or is this the (symbolic) point of departure to another, new life?

Spain, 1979. Irene is an aspiring writer who is obsessed with the delicate ghost at the library she works at.

After consolidating itself as a tourist destination in the mid-1960s, this small coastal village has become the dormitory town for the workers of a Nuclear Power Plant. With the liberal promise of prosperity and socioeconomic wellfare, many workers left their homes to move to the small city and started working at the new Nuclear Power Plant. The collective unrest and the silence, cut off by the great gusts of wind, articulate the landscape of the village that is now under the aid of the Nuclear Power Plant.
