This award‑winning André Melançon film, set on an Argentine pampas ranch, follows three siblings spending a summer with their proud, stubborn grandfather. Youngest Felipe befriends a stray puppy; older brother Daniel breaks in and trains his first horse; teenage sister Laura wrestles with the shift from childhood to adolescence. As the children struggle to fit into their grandfather’s world, he learns to soften his ways, and together they share the joys and sorrows of growing up and growing old.
