In Amaicha del Valle, a small native community in Northern Argentina with about 5000 residents, Internet service is often interrupted because of the strong winds that hits the region. Mario Reyes, the native community's wrangler and park ranger, will have to take the Internet provider's engineer, Mercado, up the mountain to fix the problem. The ride up the peak, at an altitude of more than 4000 meters, is difficult and tiring, especially for Mario, who at sixty years of age, plans to leave this ancestral profession to younger men that are more worried about recover the Internet signal. At the mountain peak, Mario and Mercado try to install the antenna, fighting against the weather that will make things difficult for them.
