In the Mexican countryside, groaning under Don Alvarez’s tyranny, the people’s only hope is a shadow clad in a black cloak. While the governor searches everywhere for this secret hero, Alberto—the rancher’s delicate son, who has just returned from the city—is, unfortunately, out of touch with the town’s harsh reality. Yılmaz Atadeniz’s camera, as it follows the trail of a masked avenger riding through dusty roads, blends the Western aesthetic of the era with a unique local cinematic language. The dusty atmosphere of that era—filled with courage and disguises—plunges the viewer directly into the heart of a folk legend.
