Plot

The film centers about the impossible love between Gamero, the King of the Guajiros (Daniel Alvarado) and Chiquinquirá (Karina Velázquez), who decide to live their passional adventure, which is forbidden because he is a wayuu and she is an alijuna (non-wayuu). In order to protect the life of Chiquinquirá, Gamero hires Alatriste (Asier Hernández), a Basque detective[1] with a past that torments him.

Production

Most of the filming was done in the region of La Guajira, in the north of the venezuelan state of Zulia, where the wayuu people live.

gollark: The code lacks `foldM` too so who knows.
gollark: Maybe?
