Federico Solórzano is a formidable collector. In addition to 50 collections of objects ranging from animals carved in wood to comics, he created the most important paleontological collection in Latin America. These objects served as a mechanism to understand his own history and interpret the world around him. This documentary reviews his last days of life and recounts his story from the eyes of his granddaughter, who tried to record the facts of the scientist and ended up discovering the grandfather she did not know.
