This documentary features Ramiro Lezcano, a teacher who believes in the transformative power of music. In a rural school in Argentina, he sets out to bring children into the world of artistic creation. What begins as a simple exercise in writing and singing songs, soon opens a window onto a reality that cannot be ignored: the agrochemical spraying taking place in the farming area surrounding the school. Faced with resistance from local farmers and silence from parts of the media, Ramiro proposes an audacious idea: a great open-air musical gathering in the countryside—an environmental Woodstock. Artists join them, and what began with a handful of children and a song becomes a powerful collective movement.
