In the early 80s, in the Chilean desert, eleven-year-old Lidia grows up in a loving queer family pushed on the edge of an unwelcoming dusty mining town. They are blamed for a mysterious illness that's starting to spread, said to be passed through a single gaze when one man falls in love with another. In this modern western, Lidia leads a quest for vengeance, facing violence, fear, and hatred, where family is her only refuge and love might be the real danger.

"A queer fable about love, fear, and community" (Rolling stones)
