Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Pablo Ragoni is Francisco Moreno's actual great-great-grandson, cast before directors knew the connection. Nepotism? Kismet? You decide.
Moreno's 1879 diary documented the 'Conquest of the Desert' — Argentina's violent indigenous genocide, later mythologized as exploration. This film reclaims it as survival horror from the Mapuche perspective.
