A young, cocky gold miner’s daughter puts the "man's world" in its place in an adrenaline-fueled and emotional neowestern set in the magically beautiful northern Chile.
In the Atacama Desert, where the law of the jungle prevails, Pacifico and his daughter Carola work tirelessly in the hope of finding the gold vein that will change their lives and give her the chance to study and see the sea. When an unreliable day laborer discovers they’ve been secretly working at night on a particularly promising gold vein, it leads to fateful consequences, and Patricio can no longer lead his team. Being the only woman within sight, Carola is forced to step up to secure a chance at a future. And the way she does it! Katalina Sánchez is outstanding as the boldly determined sixteen-year-old who breaks the mossy rules of the patriarchy. And she does so with a bang."
