La Helada negra

Three farmers work on a farm in Entre Ríos, a sparsely populated lowland region of Argentina traversed by rivers. Their crops are affected by black frost which threatens to destroy their harvest. One day, a young woman appears at their door; blithely and self-assuredly she begins to influence their familiar routines. The bewildered farmers yield to Alejandras interventions: she dons Heribertos dead wifes clothes, accompanies Benigno to a greyhound race and wins young Lucas friendship. Shortly afterwards, the frost disappears.
