The story

Mexican filmmaker Sebastián and his Spanish executive producer Costa arrive in Cochabamba, Bolivia, accompanied by the cast and crew, to create a historical film depicting Christopher Columbus's first voyage to the New World, the imposition of Spanish authority over the natives of Hispaniola, and the subsequent indigenous rebellion by Hatuey. Cognizant of his limited budget, Costa decides to film in Bolivia, the poorest country in South America. Hundreds of Bolivian locals show up and wait in long lines in response to the open casting pamphlet.
