This has two stories - not quite separate, but not really continuous either.
And it's a lot like a western.
The first part is about a drunkard falling for the village beauty. And most of the village is against this - so much so that there is an attempt to kill him (the drunkard).
So we are brought to the second part where he is exiled in Tierra del Fuego. How he got there (or why) is a mystery. He is pursued across the vast foreboding landscape by bandits who are searching for gold left by Conquistadors centuries ago.
This becomes more and more like a Western - and a somewhat mystical one, with lots of staring.
There are some shoot-outs - and eventually our hero (who has reformed himself from his drunken days) finds the alleged source of the gold in a lake. And our movie ends. We don't know if he ever made it out and became rich like the Count of Monte Cristo.
Its' all a bit mystical.
