SYNOPSIS Otro Sol is a group of real and fictional characters trapped in a movie. It is also a purgatory of retired thieves that takes place on the coast of the Atacama Desert. The film is circular and seeks to invent and verify the myth of Alberto Cándia, a Chilean international thief who stole the Cathedral of Cadiz in Andalusia. Through interviews with his family, his former robbery partners and invented characters, the testimonies and documents gradually rewrite the real and conjure up a fiction.
