In 2018, a group of documentary filmmakers journeyed to the town of Epecuén, one of the most important touristic villages of Argentina, where thousands of people would visit, attracted by the healing properties of its thermal waters. On November 10th, 1985, a massive volume of water broke the protecting barrier, and the village was submerged under ten meters of salt water. Thirty years later, the waters have receded, exposing a bleak and deserted landscape. The residents never returned. A group of young filmmakers embarks upon the ruins to film a documentary. Ignoring the warnings, they find themselves stranded in the abandoned village. Contrary to what they thought, they soon realize that they are not alone” in the film What the Waters Left Behind.
Fourteen years later, an Anglo-American indie rock band winds up stranded in the same town, where their internal conflicts and the bad luck of their tour quickly lose importance before the hell that awaits them in the sequel What the Waters Left Behind: Scars, from returning director Nicolás Onetti (The 100 Candles Game).
