Plot
Antonio is a 30-year-old civil servant living in Rio de Janeiro, with a penchant for writing, who travels to the Atacama Desert in search of inspiration to write a novel. The arid and astonishing landscape leaves him in awe. One day, Antonio, hiking through the desert, hears suspicious noises and finds a dead man (whom he had met earlier in a bar). He is detained by Martínez, a local police officer, who forbids him to leave Chile or the village of San Pedro de Atacama, where he stays. Antonio also meets Florencia, a local bar-owner, with whom he develops a romantic relationship. The crime situation and his ongoing romance with Florencia help him write his tale and get mixed in it.
