It premiered on April 25, 2020.[1] The series is set in the fields of Chilean Patagonia in the 1930s and runs through different narrative arcs in the social context of the time, in which women recently have labor and political rights.[2][3]
It stars Catalina Saavedra, Amalia Kassai, and Alejandro Sieveking, the secondary performance of Tiago Correa, Alessandra Guerzoni, Ernesto Meléndez, Daniela Lhorente, Hernán Contreras, Geraldine Neary, among other actors.[4]
The series was awarded CLP$485,426,640 from the funds of the Consejo Nacional de Televisión de Chile in 2016.[5] The recordings began on March 9 and were paused in May 2018, due to the weather conditions in the Magallanes Region. They were then resumed in November to culminate in full on December 14, 2018.
Plot
The story of Helga Gunkel (Amalia Kassai) and Flora Gutiérrez (Catalina Saavedra), the first women of the Chilean tax police. Both are sent on their first mission: to travel to Kerren, a ranch on the Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego, in order to investigate the theft of Sigfried, a fine-blooded horse owned by Don Raymond Gamper (Alejandro Sieveking), a powerful rancher of German origin, owner of everything and everyone, and about whom the Government of Chile suspects that it may be helping Nazi Germany.
However, this event opens the floodgate to a whole world of mysteries, secrets and crossed stories in an inhospitable land. This apparent simple case hides a criminal who has returned to the town for revenge, initiating a series of other crimes that the people prefer to ignore but for our investigators it is transformed into a mysterious puzzle of intrigues that must be solved at the risk of losing their own lives.
