Bernicia works in the ticket kiosk of a national park, doing odd jobs and loyally contributing to her family. One day, she finds a lost horse, and her life becomes profoundly connected to the animal. She experiences a great transformation – slowly channelling the persona of a cowboy. This disturbs her family, and puzzles those around her, but she develops the strength to follow her own path – living life on her own terms for the first time. An uplifting story about accepting who you are, El Vaquero is a touching reminder to embrace the simple things in life and follow your happiness.
