Chile, second half of the 20th century. The poor Esteban marries Clara and they get a daughter, Blanca. Esteban works hard and eventually gets money to buy a hacienda, eventually to become a local patriarch. He becomes very conservative and is feared by his workers. When Blanca grows up, she falls in love with a young revolutionary, Pedro, who urges the workers to fight for socialism. It is unavoidable that Pedro and Esteban are pitted against each other. Esteban tries to stop the love affair between Pedro and his daughter by all means possible but soon Blanca becomes pregnant and has a daughter.

The movie is a masterpiece but Bille August is a weirdo. - @Friday, May 25, 2018 10:24 AM

Hollywood never disappoints when it comes to whitewashing books and stories written and told by people of color. It is so sad that even today representation is still a problem. for how long with Hollywood continue to recycle the same actors and actresses to play people of color instead of hiring actors and actresses who are Black, Latino/a or Asian? Is it really that hard? - @Wednesday, August 9, 2017 2:26 PM
