    • Chile, end of the 19th century. Three horsemen are hired by a rich landowner to mark out the perimeter of his expansive property.
      The expedition, composed of a young Chilean native, an American mercenary, and led by a reckless British lieutenant, soon turns into a “civilizing” raid.
      In his awaited de´but feature, Felipe Galvez explores a crucial part of Chile’s colonial past in a visually stunning period drama that highlights the difference between truth and history.
