Plot
Loosely based on Robert Louis Stevenson's short story "The Bottle Imp" and an old folk legend from Barlovento.[1] During Venezuela's Federal War, an indigenous deserter from the liberal army and a mysterious white woman, mute and traumatized by the war, will live a strange and violent love story.
