On the mid 1930s a remote mountain town in Venezuela keeps in contact with the central government by telegraph. The country is ruled by a powerful dictator. The town is ruled by a rich governor who is a tyrant and has a son who rapes local young virgins.
A mysterious new telegraphist arrives in the town and invents telegraph messages from the central government to the local governor to help the town's people. The movie was well liked by many persons who saw it with me. It has very good cinematography and good acting. The plot is interesting, and the dialogue crisp and at times profound. The movie gives a powerful political message against tyrants. It also makes innuendos about the catholic religion which I could not undertand.
