A film by Cecilia Atán & Valeria Pivato. In spa­nish with ger­man subtitles.

54-year-old Teresa has work­ed for deca­des as a live-in maid with a fami­ly in Buenos Aires. When the fami­ly sells the house, she is forced to take a job in the distant town of San Juan. Although fee­ling uncom­for­ta­ble with tra­ve­ling, she embarks on a jour­ney through the desert. During her first stop, in the land of the mira­cu­lous “Saint Correa”, she loses her bag with all her belon­gings. This unex­pec­ted inci­dent leads her to cross paths with El Gringo, a tra­ve­ling sales­man, the only one who can help Teresa find her bag. What see­med like the end of her world will ulti­m­ate­ly pro­ve her salvation.
