The Weight of Snow (El peso de la nieve)

In the far south of Chilean Patagonia, ageing gauchos, known as puesteros, live and work alone for months at a time across vast private ranches. Working and living on land they do not own, their options narrow as their bodies age: some continue as long as their bodies will allow, others adapt or are forced to leave this traditional life behind entirely. Set against an ongoing drought, the film quietly observes daily labour and solitude, waiting with them for the long-anticipated snowfall, which promises a fleeting sense of relief within an uncertain future.
