We follow pastoralists and their cattle in the Argentine Chaco, where livestock move through the forest as working animals, semi-feral kin, and historical agents of settlement. Filmed largely from the perspective of cattle, the film stays close to intimate practices of care and co-living: guiding, tracking, watering, curing, and reading animal behaviour as everyday knowledge. As the cattle roam, they encounter companion species, native Chacoan fauna such as peccaries and pumas, and signs of constraint: a fence line where there was once passage; dried water bodies under persistent drought pressure; and the soundscape of development, roads, planes, and machines, as agricultural expansion introduces new infrastructures and genetically enhanced cattle breeds. The Chaco becomes a lived problem, navigated through bodies, technologies, thirst, movement, and survival. Across the film, we follow a small number of animals toward the Festival del Jinete Encuerado in Nueva Pompeya, a celebration of local pastoral culture where communities gather with their livestock amid parades, folklore music, and celebration. Here, livestock remain at the centre of social life in an increasingly contested landscape, and pastoral livelihoods emerge in their resilience amid mounting external pressures.
