  • Director: John Malkovich
  • Genre:Drama
  • Year of production:2002

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.
