1934. Bolivia is at war with Paraguay. Led by a mercenary German general, native soldiers push ever deeper into the hostile Chaco region.

Drama set in 1934. Bolivian soldiers, led by a German commander, wander the inhospitable Chaco plain. The mismatched regiment has been searching for the Paraguayan enemies for ages, but they seem unfindable. Their mission becomes more fruitless by the day, particularly when thirst, hunger, dissent and exhaustion gain the upper hand.
