The filmmaker’s family has some plots of land inheritance. But there is a problem; no one knows where most of them are. They are absurdly small and are scattered throughout the mountain. The filmmaker and his father set on a search. A search to find them, to see if by putting them together with others like his cousin Lalo, they make them worth for something. This cousin helps them in their search; he lives closer to the properties. But the lines marked on the maps blur when searching the separation on the land. They disappear. What they find in reality are the scars of a way of living and society in their last moments.The inheritance loses its reason of being. It could have been the last chance for change. But it becomes the last vestige before oblivion.
