Plot

The story takes place in 1847, when a ship carrying German immigrants arrives at Caleta Melipullí Bay (now Puerto Montt). Immigration agent Vicente Pérez Rosales (played by Roberto Parada) greets them and provides tools and animals for the settlers to begin exploiting the land granted to them.

As time passes, the settlers realize the monumental task of clearing the area, which is covered in ancient alerce trees. However, despite the difficulties, they persevere and cultivate the land. Characters Daniel (played by Rodolfo Onetto), Simón (played by Armando Bó), and Dora symbolize the challenging struggle to conquer the untouched lands of southern Chile, despite the numerous obstacles and frustrations that arise.

The movie was filmed entirely on the shores of Lake Llanquihue, with the Osorno volcano visible in the background for most outdoor scenes.
