According to the myth still prevalent in the coal-mining towns of Patagonia, if a woman enters the mine, the earth becomes jealous. Then there is a collapse and death. "Río Turbio" is based on a dark personal experience to become a film about the silence of women who live in villages of men. How can we film where our presence is forbidden? How can we record the resonances of what is not heard? While the fog and smoke from the power plant cover the town, the voices of the women of Río Turbio forcefully break through the white ice and the hum of the drilling machines, shattering the structure of silence.
