Jorge Zentner and Carlos Nine present a truly human drama, told with great sensitivity and rendered with spirit. The artist makes admirable use of direct coloring and his graphic work (in pastel), beautifully nuanced, reveals a style both sensitive and daring. Pampa will be presented in a total of three acts.

The story unfolds in an Argentine village at the beginning of the last century.

Bartholemé, a young boy, is crying, but nobody notices – or suspects what is about to happen. The men are preparing to slaughter a sheep for a banquet. Annibal, Bartholemé’s father, is flourishing his knife when a horde of Argentine Indians suddenly surges out of nowhere. They plunder the village, killing and destroying. Annibal is dead — and Bartholomé doesn’t cry anymore: he has lost his voice.

The government sends a troop of Gauchos to track the Indians, promising them a bounty for each Indian ear they collect!

The Argentine army finds the trail, and attacks the Indians who invaded the village. In the confusion, a Gaucho rapes a young Indian woman who, before dying, calls upon the moon and hurls a curse at Laguna, her violator.

Time passes. Francisco returns home and finds his family. But his two sons – Juan and Francisco – seem to suffer from unknown illnesses.

It’s said that, on nights when the moon is full, Francisco becomes a werewolf! Juan, his brother, sets out to search the pampa for the ingredients that will help his brother get better. But Juan himself succumbs to madness. A man is following him; he says his name is Bartholomé. Juan learns that the only way to free Francisco is to kill him, using a knife that once belonged to a certain Annibal!
