A girl at a boarding school in the middle of the mountains wants to know who she is. She has never known her father and is determined to find him; her mother is against it. The harshness of winter turns that wish into a real danger, because being stranded on the road means freezing. Without the school authorities or the mother knowing, her teacher decides to help her and the two set out. The only clue they have is a small, rusted plate. The film looks less at the result of the search than at the relation the two build on the road, and makes nothing easy. Paula Galinelli Hertzog plays the lead in Matias Lucchesi’s seventy one minute Argentine film, completed in 2014.
