A farm laborer crosses the mythical nature of the Iberá Wetlands in search of a child he lost in an accident. To find them, he has to embody a hero called "Gauchito Gil", a local Robin Hood, and therefore die like the myth: hanged from his ankles.
It's the story of a boy who finds enlightenment by experiencing religious hipocrisy and dogmatism. Dnyaneshwar liberated the "divine knowledge" locked in the Sanskrit language to bring that knowledge into Prakrit (Marathi) and made it available to the common man.
