Faustino Barrientos has lived alone on the shore of Lake O'Higgins in Chilean Patagonia since 1965, in a house built from the wreck of a fishing boat. Now 81, he raises cattle and lives largely off the land, with his nearest neighbors 25 miles away in the small settlement of Villa O'Higgins, reachable only by a two-day horseback ride over mountain trails he still makes every few years to sell livestock. VICE's crew rides out to his homestead and sits with him as he talks through five decades of solitude and the gaucho life that shaped it. The film also tracks what is closing in on that isolation: government land policy, a growing tourism economy, and the slow disappearance of the frontier conditions that let a life like his exist in the first place. There is no narrator's argument here, just Barrientos describing, in his own words, what it means to be one of the last people living this way in Patagonia, and what happens to that way of life after he is gone.
