The first bioart narrative film. A transposition of War of the worlds in which the visuals are achieved by cultivating bacteria to follow certain patterns on petri dishes in a chemical oven. The narration evokes radio plays.

Tucumán, Argentina, 1965. Three years before George A. Romero's Night of the Living Dead was released, director Ofelio Linares Montt shot Zombies in the Sugar Cane Field, which turned out to be both a horror film and a political statement. It was a success in the US, but could not be shown in Argentina due to Juan Carlos Onganía's dictatorship, and was eventually lost. Writer and researcher Luciano Saracino embarks on the search for the origins of this cursed work.
