Amidst the Chaco War, Guillermo, a middle-class young man, saves the life of Sebastián, an Aymara peasant. A solid friendship develops between them over time. After Guillermo rises up against his Colonel due to a racist behavior, he stands trial and is sentenced to capital punishment. Guillermo is helped to escape and Sebastian joins him across the Bolivian Chaco. While running away, they face the harshest conditions, almost dying of thirst. When they finally reach a town, they take different paths, after promising to meet again. But that only happens 30 years later, when the Aymara peasant has become a city man, and the white man has indigenised.
