Synopsis

Based on Francisco Coloane's 1956 short story collection and the diaries of Julius Popper, this film tells the story of the Romanian Julius Popper (Jorge Perugorría), an arrogant adventurer who led an expedition into Tierra del Fuego in search of gold and sought to exterminate the Ona natives living there. The Ona (also known as Selk'nam) were a nomadic people who relied on minimal or no shelter aside from their furs. Popper's ragtag crew of mercenaries defeat them fairly quickly, except for one surviving girl taken prisoner by an old man. Sad story, fine cinematagraphy and music.
