In rural Mexico, maize seeds have been passed down from generation to generation. Inspired by his father’s knowledge, Ramón conserves different maize seed varieties to share with other campesinos. Meanwhile, Camilo, an experienced campesino, saves his seeds along with the hope for a future that returns to tradition. Both live with the worry that when they die, no one will continue their legacy.
