Stranded after a plane crash in the Andes mountains, individual members of Uruguay's rugby team respond differently. Group leader Nando tries to keep everyone's spirits up; medical student Roberto diligently treats cases of frostbite and gangrene; loose cannon Antonio gradually loses his composure. Once all available food stuffs run out, the group faces a terrible dilemma: eat one or more of their deceased teammates, or die.
