Viggo Mortensen, long known for inhabiting other men's visions, has quietly been building one of his own. His second film as writer, director, and actor arrives in Spanish cinemas with the weight of a genuine artistic statement — a 19th-century western about love, separation, and the moral wreckage left behind when history forces ordinary people into impossible choices. It is the work of someone who understands that storytelling is not a single instrument, but an orchestra.
