Two deaf-mutes, a girl and a boy, meet near an oil exploitation base located somewhere in the third world. She, an American, follows her father on his travels around the world wherever new torches grow. He, a local boy, lives with his two sisters in a dilapidated farmhouse that his father has abandoned in favor of a small-scale chicken farm. Between them a sympathy is established that all kinds of conditions and predispositions will strengthen and develop in margin of the deep surrounding misery that takes the aspects of an illusory, prosperity, of a doubtful cultural exchange (sophisticated household appliances against traditional dresses and jewels). This world, hard and artificial in its disorder and contradictions, cuts the balance of a brief encounter. The departure of the father towards new building sites, new torchères comes to break this meeting.
