Nestling below the rugged peaks of the Chilean Andes lies the gold-mining town of Andacollo. The town's remoteness and mining economy has fostered beliefs in the power of the Virgin Mary over the inhabitants' lives. This film tells the story of the artisan miners and of all the hard labour that goes into producing a mere 75 grams of gold.

In a region where large scale displacement of villagers is happening due to coal mining, Shoukie and his dog Kheru spend their night, which probably is their last in the village. Their entire village has been abandoned for almost two years and Shoukie has remained adamant to stay there like a ghost with his dog. Earlier that morning, Shoukie has been served a final notice by the mining company for eviction. Sensing an imminent defeat, an illogical thought stems within him that his dog would die that night. That his dog dies at home and not an alien land helps him salvage some pride. The night passes with this firm belief of the dog’s death, hunger and nostalgia.

Aboard his microlight plane, Sylvestre Campe explores the famous Trans-Amazonian route, meeting with the people living in this deep and mixed Brazil. The Transamazônica breaks through the Brazilian forest over 4,300 kilometers. Millions of tons of raw materials pass through this huge road, which ends in a dead end in the middle of the jungle. On board his paramotor, the explorer unveils the immensity, the beauty and the scars of the landscape, and sets off to meet people: poor farmers in the Northeast, a young gold digger who dreams of standing out on social networks, a young indigenous activist, a couple who sacrificed their youth to build the road. Between heaven and earth, we go on a great road movie, which draws a real picture of this Amazonian Wild West.
