LUX PERPETUA

The death of the matriarch reveals the economic collapse of the hacienda Perpetua. Sady (40), upon learning of her mother’s

death, arrives to stay for the wake of nine days of prayer. Rudy (35), the younger brother, is unfazed and tries to continue living the same life as always, wandering at night, alone, in the forest.

After the prayer, Sady prepares to return to Asunción but soon meets reality: the debts are enormous and lawsuits and embargoes begin to arrive. Sady’s departure becomes impossible because she has to shoulder the administration of the ranch and she must go back to live with Rudy, a melancholic boy who has no known profession, much less running a ranch.
