Since his childhood, Juan Chico has known that his community hides stories marked by pain. Born in the heart of the Chaco mountains into a Qom family, he left his job as a bricklayer to investigate the causes of this silence, starting with a question: ‘Why don’t I speak my mother language? This question leads him to discover a series of historical events that beg to be unveiled until he transforms the silence of his peers into an unstoppable tide of voices that challenges an entire nation.
