The annihilation of indigenous peoples in the southern area of Patagonia happened in a previous century, but the contempt felt by white people towards the survivors is still intact (as recently confirmed in Argentina). Puyelli is a Mapuche shaman who is falsely accused of homicide and practising medicine illegally (although it all happens because he allegedly 'abused' a young rich man). While in prison, the silent Puyelli waits and establishes a bond with one of the leaders in the penitentiary, Ramón, who is close to being released. (International Film Festival Rotterdam)
