In a small village in Peru, a group of American filmmakers arrives to shoot a western. Among them is an actor in search of redemption, who feels trapped between the magic of cinema and the reality of the world around him. At first, everything seems to be going smoothly; the lights, the cameras, and the glamour of Hollywood make him feel alive. However, as the filming progresses, a darker side of the experience begins to emerge, where the boundaries between art and life start to blur.
The protagonist finds himself fascinated by the local culture and a group of natives who observe the production with curiosity, yet with a disquieting distance. As the plot of the fictional film unfolds, the life of the village becomes disrupted, and social and economic conflicts begin to surface. Against the backdrop of a revolution lurking behind the scenes, the moral dilemmas of the cast intensify. The actor faces a crucial decision: continue participating in a project that distances him from reality or return to the village and help the community that has taught him so much.
In this introspective journey, the struggle between artistic creation and social responsibility becomes the true stage of the story, leading the characters to an unexpected and emotionally powerful conclusion about cinema and its impact on real life.
