Small town in Italy, end of the 19th century. Luciano, a drunk, doesn't fit in the town. Rebelion against authority and a forbidden love makes him to commit a crime accidentally. To pay for his crime, he is forced into exile on the most remote island in the world, Argentina’s Tierra del Fuego. The hunt for the shipwreck treasure hidden on the island becomes his opportunity for redemption.
Le inquadrature sono sempre curatissime, a volte sembra quasi che il film si stia specchiando su se stesso. Avrei preferito un approccio più essenziale, pur mantenendo l'azzeccatissima parte "mistica" del racconto.
