Francisco Soto

The life of a group of men who patrolled the Atacama Desert during the Saltpeter War.

Three friends are part of a fascist opposition group in the chaotic Chile of the early 70's and together commit a political crime that changes the history of the country and incidentally involves them in a betrayal that separates them forever.

Two guerrillas (Miguel Littin and Jorge Guerra) wander lost in the desert until one of them dies. A jeep appears in the distance to rescue the survivor, but unable to read the signs of comradeship pointed out to him by the drivers of the vehicle, he shoots them.

Sequences that illustrate moments in a woman's life, in parallel to the political events happening in South America during the 60's.
