Between fiction and reality lies Alberto Cándia, whose myth according to the film involves the Chilean thief robbing the Cathedral of Cádiz, in Andalucía, in the late 1980s. On the beaches and rivers surrounding the Atacama Desert, the search for this thief is done through the stories the director discovers and the possibilities woven from them. The film’s humour does not mask the colonial connection, through the flow of gold, between Spain and the Chilean lands.
