During the socialist government of Marmaduke Grove in 1932, a group of villagers decide to take some land in the area of Palmilla.

Everything becomes more complicated with rumors that the reactionary forces have overthrown the socialist government. A movie that because of the coup was not released in Chile and was only terminated by Littin in exile in Mexico.
