Lucas Schell

Three farmers work on a farm in Entre Ríos, a sparsely populated lowland region of Argentina traversed by rivers. Their crops are affected by ‘black frost’ which threatens to destroy their harvest. One day, a young woman appears at their door; blithely and self-assuredly she begins to influence their familiar routines. The bewildered farmers yield to Alejandra’s interventions: she dons Heribertos’ dead wife’s clothes, accompanies Benigno to a greyhound race and wins young Lucas’ friendship. Shortly afterwards, the frost disappears.

Jesús López, a young racing driver, dies accidentally leaving his town in astonishment. His cousin Abel, a drifting teenager, gradually feels tempted to take his place in life.

The story reflects the life of several teenagers from a German colony in the province of Entre Ríos, some of whom want to leave, while others choose to stay in the village. Ferdinand, a young German who is in the colony to study his customs, disappears. This event will shock both young people and adults, as well as the police who will arrive to investigate.

A German family unravels as they are forced to abandon their farm in Entre Ríos, Argentina.
