In this realization, Dickinson tries to reflect the situation of the ‘Patagonia Park’ projected by international philanthropists around the Buenos Aires Lake Plateau (Province of Santa Cruz)- and also that of the traditional Producers of the area, that would be displaced by the initiative.

In that context, the Flora and Fauna Foundation (‘Rewilding Argentina’) came to this Plateau to protect Macá Tobiano, a native duck in danger of extinction, but soon he decided to form and donate there a National Park of 500.000 hectares, to join with another of the same name in Chile, stating that together they will generate a thriving regional tourism, reversing in its restoration of flora and fauna the supposed negative impact that wool ranches have had on the environment, in the last century and a half.

It's not so clear though, that the Park can replace the economic contribution and way of life of traditional producers. For example, it is argued, that the excessive proliferation of pumas and guanacos in the incipient Park has been harmful, and that this massive donation of land - which includes important water resources -, it can be illusory.

Thus, the documentary will try to review these contradictions, that allow a vital reflection on our relationship with the environment.
