Benjamin, his uncle César and Genaro are taken by their Mennonite Patron to a desolate place in the Paraguayan Chaco, where they will stay for days building a fence. The days are long, the progress slow. Benjamin cannot get used to the hard, boring work and the oppressive silence of this arid region. He wants to leave. El Patron returns 30 days after leaving them; dissatisfied with the quality of the work, he tells the trio they need to stay three more days to complete the job. César and Genaro stayed... but like Vladimir and Estragon in Beckett's Waiting for Godot, for them the wait will be eternal this time.

Come to watch it!

Be on time: The movie will start at 4:30 pm so please arrive before.

Benjamín, su tío César y Genaro son llevados por su Patrón Menonita a un lugar desolado del Chaco paraguayo, donde permanecerán durante días construyendo una valla. Los días son largos, el progreso lento. Benjamin no puede acostumbrarse al trabajo duro y aburrido y al silencio opresivo de esta árida región. Quiere irse. El Patrón regresa 30 días después de dejarlos; Insatisfecho con la calidad del trabajo, le dice al trío que necesitan quedarse tres días más para completar el trabajo. César y Genaro se quedaron... pero al igual que Vladimir y Estragón en Esperando a Godot de Beckett, para ellos la espera esta vez será eterna.

¡Ven a verlo!

La película empezará a las 4:30 pm en punto por lo que le rogamos llegue antes de esa hora.
