Starting with a journey to the forgotten jungle village where Hugo Blanco's fight and fame began, the film director looks for the traces of the young black-bearded man with a gun on his shoulder and raised fist shouting "Land or Death!" and finds the traces of the indigenous peasant movement. In the second part, she meets the white-bearded and tireless Hugo Blanco, her father's revolutionary hero. He is now - in the aftermath of the Peruvian Internal Armed Conflict - an anonymous environmental and indigenous activist: Hugo Indio. How and why did the inspiring hero come to decide to withdraw from his position of leadership? The film is a diptych divided by a hiatus of silence and mourning for the sixty thousand indigenous people whose blood flowed in rivers when a generation's dream turned into a nightmare: the dream of the armed revolution.
