The Agronomist

El Agrónomo

Argentina 2024 Fiction cor 72 min.

Gastón, an agronomist, hired by an important farm manager, works as a crop advisor in an area of great agricultural production. While Ana, his wife, adapts to working at the town bank branch, Vera, his daughter, becomes part of a group of activists that fights for the care of the environment and the use of pesticides, directly against the company you work for. What seemed like a promising beginning transforms into a present full of contradictions when suddenly, his daughter’s best friend, who lives surrounded by the fields where he works, begins to have health problems. This not only shakes the foundations of his work but also puts him face to face with his daughter and his wife, facing a situation that seems irreconcilable.
