Otro Sol is a group of real and invented characters trapped in a film. It is also a purgatory of retired thieves that takes place on the coast of the Atacama Desert. The film is circular and seeks to invent and verify the myth of Alberto Cándia, a Chilean international thief who stole the Cathedral of Cadiz in Andalucia. Through interviews with his family, his former robbery partners, and invented characters, little by little the testimonies and documents rewrite the real and summon a fiction.
