Terra Incognita
Terra Incognita is a terminology that is used by cartographers to name an unknown region. When Ferdinand Magellan arrived in Tierra del Fuego, he named the island Terra Incognita Australis, although it had been inhabited for thousands of years.
The islanders knew the place thoroughly and were able to survive the most extreme weather. The same happens with the people that live there today. They know the secrets of surviving in such difficult latitude. Esteban is a young beaver hunter. Rafa and Miguel fish king crabs. The Vargas is a family of fishermen.
They, together with a group of young ranchers and an old hermit who hunts wild cows, will reveal in this film a peculiar way of living in the end of the world.
