In 1934, Bolivia is at war with Paraguay. Liborio and Ticona and other Bolivian indigenous soldiers are lost in the hell of the Chaco, under the commandment of German Captain Kundt. They're looking for the Paraguayan enemy that they haven't seen for months, and that they will never find. They leave together in a search that will make them realize, progressively, the destiny they have been pushed into and the inevitable condition of a defeated troop. They're walking like shadows, wandering forever in the middle of dust and silence.

Three stories intersect in a brutal lynching that occurred on June 1, 2013 in a town in the Bolivian tropics. Mario Vega, a prosecutor attached to judicial processes, tries to prevent the lynching of five young people from Villa Nogales, unjustly accused of stealing a truck. Miguel, the father, and Adrián, one of the young accused, join Mario to star in this story, which portrays what happens in many places in Bolivia, where "justice by one's own hands" claims many lives.
