Michelsen, an elderly truck driver, sets out on his last trip driving freight to the southern tip of Chilean Patagonia.

Synopsis

Michelsen is an elderly truck driver whose figure is almost mythical. Lonely and sick, he travels through Patagonia until he meets a hitchhiker who reminds him of his daughter Elena, whom he has not seen in years. However, their paths will cross later, as Elena also goes to southern Patagonia to participate in a boxing tournament.
