Based on the director's real life experience, FRAILEJON is an intimately poetic film about a young man's journey into a remote mountainous region of the Venezuelan Andes where he encounters a recluse mountain guide, Chucho. Over the course of their arduous expedition they learn to transcend their inability to communicate through a common language. Through song and dance Chucho reveals his philosophy and respect for these unknown mountains.
