Insomniac and nightmare-ridden Arturo R�os,
hearing that his father is dying, hurries back to his crumbling
childhood home in the hills only to be told by a mysterious old
woman that dad died years ago. And then the family chronicle begins,
dating back to the 1860s and the French soldier's gun and coat,
carrying through succeeding wars and a pattern of fratricide, dreams
and insomnia. The old woman barks "Love doesn't exist" but if it
did, can it break the circle? Seven Ariel Awards out of 14
nominations, including Best Film, Actor, Director, Screenplay,
Score.

a�os atr�s. Y all� comienza la cr�nica familiar, que data de 1860 y
la pistola y el abrigo del soldado franc�s, siguiendo el camino a
trav�s de sucesivas guerras y una pauta de fratricidio, sue�os e
insomnio. La anciana vocifera "el amor no existe" pero si existiera,
�podr�a romper el c�rculo? Siete Premios Ariel de 14 nominaciones,
