A vida do Dr. Estebán Maradona, um médico do interior que, no início do século XX, deixou uma promissora carreira em Buenos Aires e se mudou para Formosa, uma província ao norte da Argentina, para tratar do povo indigena. Um documentário que busca entender a enigmática vida de um homem simples que buscou um destino repleto de aventura e de risco.

Esteban Maradona (1895-1995) was a country doctor who lived in Estanislao del Campo, Formosa, for 50 years. Excluded from official Argentine history but idolized by a few, he's generally seen as someone who made a great sacrifice to work where he did, in the middle of no place. This documentary refutes that theory, and focuses on Maradona as a person who made the most of medicine, nature, adventure, and his voluntary poverty, living with maximum freedom.
