In this evocative Argentinean feature from director Pablo Fendrik, Gael Garcia Bernal portrays a mysterious man who emerges from the Argentinean rainforest to rescue the kidnapped daughter of a poor farmer after mercenaries murder her father and take over his property. Infused with the spirit of Sergio Leone to suggest that certain areas of South America are as corrupt and lawless as the Old West, this is a revenge tale with a twist on familiar tropes.
