Chile, 1901. Three horsemen are hired by a rich landowner to mark out the perimeter of his expansive property. The expedition, composed of a young Chilean half blood, an American mercenary, and led by a reckless British lieutenant, soon turns into a “civilizing” raid.

Winner of the Fipresci Prize in the Un Certain Regard section of the 2023 Cannes Festival, Felipe Gálvez takes us to the archipelago of Tierra del Fuego, at the wild, southernmost tip of South America, and explores a crucial part of Chile’s colonial past in a visually stunning period drama that highlights the difference between truth and history.
