Synopsis :
El lugar del hijo is the story of a student who is being told of his father’s death and has to travel to Salto, a town in the center of the country to attend his funeral. In Salto he discovers that his father left him a farm with debts and a house in town with a lover who expects to keep the place and settles down there with him.
It is a story of rootlessness and of personal reconstruction, a metaphor on the inherited country and the youth which at some point has to deal with it.
