The life of the gaucho Juan Moreira, his fall into crime, persecution and death.

The romance between an actress and a young man provokes the rejection of the class to which he belongs.

Adaptation of the homonymous novel by Eduardo Gutiérrez, inspired by a real police chronicle, starring a gaucho killed by the police in 1874. Juan Moreira's life was full of injustices and has been considered representative of those suffered by gauchos.

The film deals with the conflict between a father, master of a cattle ranch, and his son, who has returned after study.
