Sergio, an ambitious and hopeful film director, becomes obsessed with writing and making a Western movie. In search of inspiration for his screenplay, Sergio travels to the Atacama Desert in Chile, where he gets mistaken for a man called Diego. Diego's furious enemies mistakenly kidnap Sergio as punishment for Diego's wrongdoings. Soon after, Sergio finds himself in an isolated shack in the driest part of the Earth, with just an old man, who becomes an unlikely friend, for company. When he is later visited by the seductive Maria, an ex-lover of Diego's, Sergio becomes increasingly baffled at his fate and must investigate the mystery of how Diego has landed in such hot water, whilst also trying to stay alive - all of which provide unlikely cues for his developing screenplay.
