The Wealth of the World

Chile, 1814. During the independence war, a militia peasant wakes up deaf among the dead. As he wanders, he rescues a young hussar who has lost his sight in recent combat. Abandoned, they decide to return together to their homeland, avoiding irrational events that the war has left in its wake. However, as they move away from the battlefield, it’s their injuries and nature that silently threaten to break their will to survive.
