The elegant policeman Agustín Rejas
is assigned the mission of capturing the famous guerrilla leader
Ezequiel, the main instigator of a peasant revolution that
threatens to reach the cities and bring down the government.
Alarmed by the brutal intimidating
tactics used by Ezequiel's followers, the army decides to react
with equal or greater severity, causing a climate of collective
panic.
Rejas follows the trail of the
already legendary Ezequiel whilst feeling the relentless advance of
the rebels. Thanks to Yolanda, the ballet teacher of his daughter
Laura, he musters the necessary strength to persevere in his
mission.
