Synopse

A puma stalks Pueblo Nación Ranquel, an indigenous community in the North of Argentina. Hunting is a rite of passage, and the older boys want to kill the puma. But Uriel chooses a different path.

La vida en común was shot in an indigenous community in the north of Argentina. The local government built twenty four concrete tents in the middle of the desert. A modern camp where lots of ranquels from nearby cities moved to. It is a communitys origin, and the origin of a scenography that is also the protagonist of this film.
