An American filmmaker arrives in the Argentinian pampa to film Matadero: a founding narrative of class struggle where a group of laborers slaughter their bosses like cattle. It is 1974, the violent persecution of the left has just begun in Argentina, and the young actors in the film are on the verge of taking a leap into full time clandestine militancy.
Mikel is a Basque who hates "what is Basque" and decides to emigrate to Argentina, with the misfortune that he arrives in a community of Basque descendants from the interior of the country who live the traditions of their ancestors with great passion and who organize life in around his Basque club.
