- Gregório is a rustic and idealistic peasant who lives frustrated in the village of Rosillas. Arrogant and bold, he wants to recover the waters of the family's old dam, which were diverted by Colonel Igrejas, an Argentinean farmer who acts in collusion with the town's mayor to benefit the cultivation of his own vines. In the midst of all this, Gregório will have to face the contempt of the residents, the corruption and the socioeconomic power of the elite, leaving aside the love for his little son Olegário, the care for his elderly parents and the love of Paula, the teacher at the school who insists that he go live in the city. How does the one who stays on the land that everyone has decided to leave survives.
- A Colombian farmer and his son are exiled from their village on the high plains. They boy befriends a girl and borrows a little dog to play with, while the father is forced to work in the illegal Amapola (poppy) filed. The two stories intertwine when one day the boy follows his father to work.
- Manuel, a 70 year old man and his son Simon, a 30 year man with a profound cognitive disability, live isolated in a small town in the Colombian countryside. For both of them, home comforts are minimal due to their physical problems, the long distances they must travel to get food and the dangers of the region, which are the arising violence of the 50's. Loneliness is not significant for Manuel, however, the current state of his health is a major concern; the appearance of a lump in his abdomen, the presence of an invasive cancer, greatly worries Manuel. The old man does not fear death, what he fears is his departure and leaving his son alone and helpless, afraid to trust something as fragile as the life of Simon to hands that are not his. Due to the circumstances, Manuel begins to consider assisted suicide and the death of his son as a possible alternative to their problems. However, the old man is incapable of hurting his son, even though he is convinced about the relentless stalking of the disease and the vicissitudes that his child will have to endure without him. Uncertainty seems to gain ground in the old man's house until unexpectedly, the arrival of a fugitive, a victim of the Colombian conflict, seems to shed new light. Manuel protects the man, he hides him, and heals his wounds, he saves his life, provided that this individual is convinced of the reasons that move the old and have the fugitive kill him and his son, before the illness does. To achieve this goal, Manuel will have the difficult task of turning a harmless and peaceful man, into a pious executioner.
