Na cidade de El Idílio, na margem de um pequeno afluente do rio Amazonas, vive Antonio Bolivar (Richard Dreyfuss). Vivendo a maior parte de sua vida recluso na floresta, Bolivar descobre uma paixão pelos livros românticos o qual compartilha com Josefina (Cathy Tyson). Seus interesses comuns acabam os aproximando cada vez mais. Em meio diso, os colonos passam a invadir a floresta, matando os filhotes de um jaguar e perturbando o frágil equilíbrio entre o homem e a natureza. Assim começa uma caminhada, uma aventura, um duelo perigoso.
A fragmented biography, inconclusive, partial, of the brilliant Argentinian writer Jorge Luis Borges, based on different testimonies: his links with Leonor de Acedevo —his mother— and María Kodama —his second wife—; his vast culture and devout dedication to literature, his and that of others; his country: the politicians and the disloyal military. Borges gradually builds his own impersonation of Borges.
The film is based on the novel (of the same name) by the Chilean writer Francisco Coloane, and on the chronicles of the Romanian engineer Julius Popper, a nationalized Argentine and one of the principle actors in the genocide of the Selk'nam, one of the indigenous peoples who inhabited the Tierra del Fuego Archipelago.
A seagull is caught by the black tide of a sinking petrol ship. She manages to fly inland and falls down in a garden by a cat. Moribund, she asks the cat to fulfill three promises: that when she lays her egg he must not eat it; that he must take care of it until it hatches; that he would teach the newborn how to fly.
