Synopsis

Manena is on vacation in the south of Chile with her father Francisco, a wealthy landowner. Francisco is obsessed with eliminating the carp fish in his artificial lagoon, resorting to increasingly extreme methods such as using explosives. Manena seems to be the only one who perceives the growing tension her father’s actions provoke in the local Mapuche community, who claim access to these lands.
