Synopsis

Superbly filmed in the Chilean Altiplano, and recipient of a photography award in Venice, this film takes a peasant drama, based on a real incident, to the incandescent height worthy of classical tragedy. An edict from Pinochet has banned herding, depriving of their livelihood three sisters who live in autarchy in grandiose, stark surroundings. They must face their destiny.
