Atahualpa works at the construction of a road to the Oriente, in Ecuador. In the region, there is a rumor of a vast treasure hidden at the beginning of the colony. One afternoon, after his girlfriend Rocío has left the city, Atahualpa feels a provocation, a distant call that takes him back a hundred years.
