Un Clarín en la Noche

Overview

The story of a Cajamarca hacienda in the moments before and after the Agrarian Reform Law of 1999. The difficult situation of the owning family is presented. But also that of the bureaucratic, ecclesiastical, and judicial authorities of the place, incapable of mediating the conflicts between the parties. Meanwhile, the peasants decide to take over the hacienda. The "fool" Sabino clearly sees what will happen to the lands. With the arrival of the Agrarian Reform, the problems persist: there are no agricultural loans, and the bureaucrats and technicians have replaced the landowner.
