Toto, one of the last gold diggers in Tierra del Fuego, is sixty years old and he is no longer the same as before. After 40 years working in the mine, he is tired and feels close to death. But he just can’t retire, because he doesn’t qualify for social security. His son Jorge, a young cowboy, will endeavour to solve this problem by designing and building a gold harvesting machine that should bring them a better future.
