In 1934, Bolivia is at war with Paraguay. Liborio and Ticona and other Bolivian indigenous soldiers are lost in the hell of the Chaco, under the commandment of German Captain Kundt. They're looking for the Paraguayan enemy that they haven't seen for months, and that they will never find. They leave together in a search that will make them realize, progressively, the destiny they have been pushed into and the inevitable condition of a defeated troop. They're walking like shadows, wandering forever in the middle of dust and silence. 　　译文(2): 1934年，玻利维亚与巴拉圭开战。在德国上尉昆特的指挥下，利博里奥和提科纳以及其他玻利维亚土著士兵在查科地狱中失踪。他们在寻找巴拉圭的敌人他们已经几个月没见过他们永远也找不到。他们一起离开，寻找能使他们逐步认识到他们被推入的命运和一支战败军队的必然状态。他们像影子一样行走，永远在尘土和寂静中徘徊。
