From the plains of the Huasco Valley to the Atacama Desert and the mines of northern Chile, the narrator gathers the testimonies of farmers, neighbors, small landowners and political leaders.

The investigation is possible thanks to the access to the Canadian multinational Barrick Gold whose reports on the environment will be questioned.
