A poetic essay on time and memory, a reflection on emptiness and death, a documentary about a peasant woman, fiction of that documentary, A Continent on Fire is a kind of matryoshka, a film that contains other films inside, infinite films that they try to give the same sensation that a stone falls into the water causes, something like a spiral rumbling in the thunderous silence of a forgotten town in the Patagonian mountain range.
