La sociedad de la nieve (Society of the Snow)

In 1972, Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571, which had been chartered to fly a rugby team to Chile, crashed in the heart of the Andes. Only 29 of its 45 passengers survived the accident. Trapped in one of the most hostile and inaccessible environments on the planet, they have to resort to extreme measures to stay alive.

La sociedad de la nieve is a film about life in a place where life is not possible. And in that place, inhospitable, dead, it becomes necessary to reinvent life itself. Bonds, habits and beliefs have to adapt in the face of a terrible adversity and ultimately reveal our nature. It is there where the odyssey of the Andes becomes a universal story, which tells us about who we are in essence when, having reached the limit, camaraderie and mutual support emerge to the surface as the main survival tool.
