A hermetic alpaca farmer and a young Chinese woman meet under surprising circumstances. As an errant tourist group ambles around his pastures, the farmer looks on, puzzled but unfazed by his unexpected visitors. This intriguing stereoscopic drama veers toward science fiction and mystery, but is ultimately best left undefined.
