Three children who live in Villa Urquiza, an urban area in Córdoba City, Argentina.There, most of the inhabitants work as “cartoneros”, collecting used cardboard and paper from the dump in order to sell it, recycle it or use it. Yatasto takes us into their world, observing it and also immersing ourselves fully in their universe. The family, the trips around the city on the horse drawn cart, their conversations, the transmission of their grandma Chinina’s knowledge, and their view of the world are the main elements of this movie.
