Synopsis
Gauchos: If you don’t get on, you won’t fall off is a film aboutpeople who live life through risk. Men who always get back on, no matter how often they will fall off. For them, freedom means to ride off not knowing what they will eat, where they will sleep or when they will come back.
To be a gaucho is a passion. It is passed on from father to son, or daughter. You have to learn to be a gaucho but there are no schools which teach it. Here in the Argentinean mountains, the horse is the teacher and shows the human being the most important things in life. It demands of its rider patience, endurance, stamina, perseverance, intelligence and the talent of improvisation. And in return it offers faith, trust, obedience, strength and energy. To ride and to be a good rider means to hold your body in balance. If the body is in balance, your soul is in balance too. That is the moment where you can reach whatever you want. You just have to get on and not be afraid to fall off.
