Summary

[edit]

The movie is a recreation of the first part of Argentina's classic national book, the gaucho poem Martín Fierro, written by José Hernández in 1872. It tells the story of a gaucho named Martín Fierro, who is forcefully taken by the government to join the militias and fight against the indigenous people on the frontier. After a long time, Fierro returns to his homeland, but he has lost his family and his ranch. Grief and anger drive him to become a gaucho matrero, meaning a gaucho outside the law, and after committing some crimes, he is pursued by the police. However, Fierro doesn't give up and fights back at every opportunity.
