At the turn of the 20th century, three horsemen embark on an expedition across the Tierra del Fuego archipelago at the behest of a wealthy landowner, who tasks them with securing his vast state-appointed property. Accompanying a reckless British lieutenant and an American mercenary, mixed-raced marksman Segundo comes to realise that their true mission is to murderously “remove” the indigenous population.
Set against stunning mountain landscapes, The Settlers is Chile’s entry for Best International Feature Film to the 96th Academy Awards.
