To earn enough money to leave a Uruguay where he sees no future for himself, Javier Michel bought a stolen 4x4 in Buenos Aires. Before crossing the border to sell it in Bolivia, he sees vultures devouring a sheep by the roadside. In a garage where he has a contact, he meets Paula, a magnificent lost soul who steals his passport. To get it back, and to find Paula, he will have to sink even deeper into marginality, fall even lower. Where youth and old age are no longer measured in years lived, but in the time left before dying. Like the paths of perdition, rocky tracks and dry riverbeds on which the characters drag their miserable hopes in the moonlight, Three Vultures tears itself from the night, a white line on a black background.
