In 1884, Blanes, a famous Uruguayan painter, is given the task to give shape to the face of a legend: Jose Artigas, the country’ emancipator, the man that leaded an organized popular army in the countryside of Uruguay. Blanes only clues are given by the drafts of Guzman Larra, a Spanish spy that was hired to kill Artigas 70 years before. When the destinies of these three men meet, a new meaning is given to their lives and that of their people.
