Michael (30) is a mechanic who says he had a divine revelation in the desert. But far from believing him, the neighbors treat him as the fool of the village. When he learns his childhood friend had an accident in a distant village, Michael decides to leave everything and make a pilgrimage, barefoot, to heal his friend and perform a miracle. His gait begins to catch attention of the poor people deprived by the abuse of mining exploitation. They see him as a new Christ able to alleviate the harsh reality of the Chilean desert.
