Michelsen, a solitary and rootless old truck driver, is forced into retirement. He sets out on his last trip aboard his truck toward Villa O’Higgins, so-called the end of the world by the truckers of southern Chile. Along the way he begins to let go of everything that, allegedly, his life had: money, family, work, and health. But what seems like a tragedy becomes a journey of illumination, for upon facing the end of the road he manages to redeem himself from the past mistakes and for the first time reconcile with his daughter, Elena.
