In the prelude to the twentieth century, Pedro arrives in Tierra del Fuego, a hostile and violent territory, to photograph the marriage of a powerful landowner. Fascinated by the beauty of the child-bride-to-be, he betrays the rules and is left to face the land, crawling with violence and marked by the genocide of the land indigenous.

Winner of the Best Director in the Horizons section in Venice, White on White takes us on a hypnotic trip to the historic hell of Western expansionism. Shot mainly in the depths of winter in Tierra del Fuego, the film focuses on the corrupting influence of beauty and power.

Filmography: Ocaso (2010).
