In 1940 twenty Canadian Beavers were brought to 'Tierra del Fuego' island in southern Patagonia for commercial fur production. However, beavers having no natural predators, quickly spread throughout the island, causing massive destruction of trees threatening the entire Patagonian forests rivers and species. Why wildlife conservationist are convinced that 150.000 beavers must be killed? Why some of the most recognized specialist are convinced that an eradication is not possible? Meanwhile truism is capitalizing on the situation: a man dressed as a beaver passes out flyers promoting a famous sky resort: 'Cerro Castor' - Beaver Hill. Hunters claim for subsidies, scientists are researching, rangers do what they can and restaurants tray to offer beaver meat to tourist.

Em 1940, 20 castores do Canadá foram levados à 'Tierra del Fuego’, uma ilha no sul da Patagônia, para a produção comercial de peles. As consequências dessa medida são reveladas neste documentário arrasador de Pablo Chehebar e Nicolás Iacouzzi.

Un documental premiado sobre una de las ideas más absurdas de la humanidad: llevar castores de Canadá a la Patagonia. Un cuento absurdo sobre cómo unos pocos castores conquistaron la Patagonia.
