Buenos Aires, 1880. A journalist interviews Manuel Esteban Corvalán, one of the last living men who crossed the Andes in 1817 with José de San Martín, during the Argentinian and Chilean wars of independence, as one of his secretaries, when he was only 15 years old.

It focuses on the last ten years of life of the hero, creator of the Argentine flag. In 1810, Manuel Belgrano believes that it is possible to replace the royal authority - that of Fernando VII prisoner of the Napoleonic troops - with the community of virtuous men who, identified with the Homeland, fluently interpret the People.

Faced with the terrifying lack of interest of the rulers to reverse environmental destruction, citizen proposals for change and resistance are growing in the world. In Argentina, social movements are facing the giants of agribusiness, mega-mining and land clearing, with concrete and effective actions. A local documentary maker tracks this quiet transition revolution and finds initiatives that could become a powerful network for change. Knowing them changes your consciousness and your way of living in the world.
