The Barbarians

Director:
Andrew Sala

18-year-old Nacho flees the violence of his home in Buenos Aires and seeks refuge with his father, a farmer he barely knows. The stay is interrupted when a cow is found dead, without explanation. In an attempt to gain his father's approval, Nacho tries to solve the death of the cows. But as he investigates, he discovers a thick layer of mistrust and tension between the classes, which leads him to ask himself what it is to be a boss.
