A man leaves wife and children to spend the rest of his life on a nearby river. Although they never see him again they know that he is alive because, every day the food that his son Liojorge puts on the bank disappears. Years go by. Rosario, his daughter, marries and moves with her husband to the city. Liojorge continues to bring his father food. He notices a calf wading through the river and he follows it. The calf leads him to a house where a young woman, Alva, lives. This woman becomes Liojorge's wife. He takes her down to the river and introduces her to his invisible father.
