Alvaro lives a solitary and simple existence in Northern Argentina. His homosexuality and love of books marks him as an outsider in his remote island community, ruled over by the violent and hateful El Turu, who captains a water-taxi named “El León” connecting the island to the mainland. The self-appointed arbiter of morality, El Turu feels Alvaro poses a threat, forcing a showdown that may reveal more about El Turu than he cares to admit.
