Buenos Aires at the end of the millennium a young filmmaker hopeless about their future decides to film his last act.

In old Spanish California, dashing cattleman Juan Obregon returns to the rancho of his friend Gaspar Melo, to find he's fathered a son on Rosa, one of Gaspar's identical twin daughters. Overjoyed, he plans to formalize his "unofficial" marriage. But trouble brews; Melo's land is of unclear title and the new Don Domingo hopes to grab it for his own profit. Violence results. Without even knowing who survived, Juan (accompanied by Rosa's tomboy sister Tonya) rides for revenge, through spectacular pastoral and wilderness scenery.

A gaucho flees from justice for murdering a man with whom his girlfriend was betraying him. He settles in a place where he falls in love with a woman, also desired by the local commissioner.
