- Riding through the missions founded by a Jesuit in the 17th century, Maria, a young rodeo instructor, discovers the origins of the devotion towards father Kino spread in the whole of Mexico. Her father, José Luis, and her uncles, have been making pilgrimages by horse following Kino's steps for decades. With them, there is rancher and author Richard Collins, from Arizona. Their friendship, in the name of father Kino, overcomes the degrading wall along the border. During the rides, Maria learns about the missions founded by father Kino, his geographical, astronomical, agrarian discoveries, how he was the first one to build the ranch system, and also founder of Arizona and friend of the Tohono O'Odham, the Pima, the people of the desert. She is immersed in the colours of the fest of Magdalena de Kino, among hundreds and hundreds of "faithful on the horse". Maria also carries out an interior journey, which brings her to confront with the hard reality of the border territories. Life for Tohono O'Odham is very difficult and the hypothesis of an extension of the wall, which would cut their land into two, is imminent. The desert of the narcos traffic has changed the face of a hard yet wonderful land. The tragedy of the deported and the clandestine is in front of them. The welcoming centres are doing an incredible job and are named after father Kino. Maria and the other riders, following Kino's steps, tell us the story of the Jesuit, along with the complexity of a contemporary world full of contradictions, taking inspiration from father Kino to go on with hope.
