About the film:
The ghost of Eric Boman (1867-1924), a Swedish-Argentine archaeologist and anthropologist, returns to the place of his field studies in the northwestern Argentinian high Andes (Puna). This essay film, partly biographical, partly experimental, depicts Boman's life as his ghost wanders through the barren landscapes. He reflects upon humanity, its constant and futile struggle against time and with the difficulty to understand others. As he drifts alone, memories and dreams are interwoven with his philosophical reflections until he meets another wandering ghost: Carpanchay. Together, they will seal each other's destiny.
