In this war drama, based on a true story and set in an Indian village in the Peruvian Andes, a small squadron of soldiers on patrol are assigned to find and destroy communist guerrilla terrorists. One of the soldiers, dreams of becoming a hero. When the groups good commander is killed, a stricter soldier takes over. His tactics are almost unnecessarily brutal and the dreamer is horrified.

Sadly, the peasants care nothing for either side of the conflict. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi
