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: NEVER!
gollark: You could argue that the reason my phones have problems is that I just don't treat them very well, but really, it's a utility device for my benefit, and I'm not going to go around trying to treat it with reverence, avoid taking it to places it might be damaged, and never using it, to try and protect it.
gollark: The circuitry, I think some of the frame, and any high-temperature parts, can't be printed.
gollark: You can't 3D print an *entire* 3D printer yet.
gollark: And my 4D printer broke.
