In San Felix, a forgotten town in the Argentinean desert, three brothers fight the illegal invasions of a transgenic soy company. Like in a fable, in order to protect their ancestors land, this insignificant contestant armed only with seeds faces a multinational giant.Carlos, the youngest of the three brothers, in one of his trips to the cybercafé, found a YouTube video about amaranth bombs being used against transgenic soy fields. This new type of rebellion using seed bombs called agricultural-guerilla is becoming a real headache for the transgenic-soy farmer. The video explains that an amaranth bomb is a ball of compost and clay filled with amaranth seeds. Amaranth is a pre-Columbian cereal so strong that it is resistant even to ROUNDUP (Monsanto´s flagship pesticide).Carlos wants to teach the school kids of San Felix to make amaranth bombs and create an army of slingshot seed bomber´s to protect their land.
