Shot in the depths of winter in Chile's inhospitable Tierra del Fuego, Théo Court's (OCASO) sophomore feature is a hypnotic, visually startling journey into the historic hell of imperialist expansionism. At the dawn of the 20th century, photographer Pedro (frequent Pablo Larraín collaborator Alfredo Castro, MUSEO, NERUDA, NO, ROJO) travels to the southernmost part of South America to photograph a wealthy landowner's wedding. Mr.Porter, his absent client —a character based on real-life wealthy Romanian Julius Popper, a self-styled conquistador who enriched himself mining gold —specifically asks the photographer to capture the likeness of his shockingly young bride-to-be (EstherVega). But while Pedro waits for the wedding, which keeps being postponed, he grows increasingly and unhealthily obsessed with the little girl. In the meantime, he is drawn into life on this makeshift society's rugged periphery, where the men who work for Mr. Porter drink themselves stupid, kill all the game in the surrounding area and systematically murder the indigenous Selk'nam people around them. Charged with photographing these atrocities —of which Mr. Porter's men are abhorrently proud —Pedro's role slowly shifts from that of passive observer to complicit eyewitness and accessory as he documents the brutal abuses of power and genocide occurring.
