Payaguala's simple gaucho life in Patagonia is turned upside down by the unstoppable advance of globalization.

 

La vida de un paisano de ascendencia aborigen se ve alterada por el imparable avance de la globalización.

 
Payaguala es un hombre tehuelche que vive solo, un rancho retirado en la Patagonia. Su cotidiano se basa principalmente en trabajar y cuidar su tierra. Un día igual a los demás, le llega una encomienda transportada por la Gendarmería Argentina. Es una caja marcada con el Escudo Nacional que envía el Ministerio de Desarrollo Social. Contiene un sistema de televisión satelital. La primera imagen que irradia el televisor lo llevará a experimentar un cambio que afectará su forma de ver el mundo.
 

When Payaguala, a simple native from Patagonia, used to a simple life cut off from the world, receives a package from the Ministry of Social Development at first he ignores it, until his only close friend, Felipe, who visits him from to time, convinces him to open it. The box contains a Television set powered by solar energy and a telephone that they install together with Payaguala indifferent and skeptic, until the first images: Chaplin's Film The Great Dictator scroll across the screen invading his little cabin and turning his life upside down...
