Tierra del Fuego was a hostile territory. In the prelude to the XX century, the marriage of an omnipotent latifundista, the owner of these lands snatched from the native inhabitants, lands now imbued with violence, is about to take place. A photographer arrives, in this last corner of the earth, to immortalize the union. The future wife, a girl travelling with him, becomes his obsession. It is an obsession that leads him to enter into a pact, where in exchange for betraying the forces of power, he is able to enjoy the girl’s innocent beauty. After losing his privileges due to this act of treason, his relation to the image moves beyond eroticism as it penetrates farther and farther into a society that coexists with the genocide of the Onas, the native people of this land. He becomes an accomplice participating with his photographs.
