1. Movie Information

1.1 Plot
In a remote camp in the mountains, Carlota (Mercedes Morán), a renowned paleontologist, guards the most important finding of her scientific career: the fossil remains of hippogriff, a mythical creature that is half lion and half bird. There was never any proof of its existence until now. Constanza (Natalia Oreiro), a biologist who is sent to examine Carlota's finding, questions authenticity of the finding and also points out very poor transparency in usage of the research funds. The relationship between the two is becoming increasingly tense and a conflict seems inevitable.
The arrival of Freddy (Diego Velazquez), the old rival of Carlota with unclear intentions, forces Carlota to face a very strong enemy who is threatening to destroy the land and local natural resources. Now Carlota and Constanza, alone and against everyone, do not hesitate to risk their own lives to protect the secret from greed of humankind.
