In the heartland of Argentina, a hardworking cattle rancher, Omar, finds himself entangled in an unyielding battle against the wrath of nature. A prolonged drought threatens to extinguish the gaucho way of life, and the land now bears the heavy burden of dying livestock. As Omar struggles to keep his cows alive, we witness the heart-wrenching decisions he must make to save what little remains. DONDE LOS ARBOLES DAN CARNE is a raw and genuine film about an intergenerational family whose love binds them together, despite the difficulties they face in keeping a traditional way of life alive. It portrays the human spirit’s ability to endure, adapt, and find hope even in the harshest of circumstances, standing as a testament to the strength and resilience of ordinary people facing extraordinary challenges.
