To finalize a deal, Oliver has to get Florentino, a man building a home and a life for his family on the mountain, to sell that property which he inherited from his father. Florentino is adamant about staying there. Oliver's boss says it's taking too long and he needs to direct his resources elsewhere if Florentino isn't going to cooperate. Oliver gets a week's time to try to close the deal or they cancel the whole thing. Oliver sends his closest friend to the mountain to negotiate with Florentino but his friend falls in the river and dies. When he doesn't return, Oliver must go see Florentino himself. Is Oliver so business oriented (or greedy) that he isn't concerned about his friend's unexplained absence?
Maria is a nurse with an ailing mother but the doctor in charge of her hospital won't allow her mother to have the surgery she needs because the hospital is too busy. Maria finds a way to blackmail the doctor so her mother can check in the hospital.
Florentino's son Diego gets badly hurt and needs to get to the hospital, but horseback is the only option this family has. However, Oliver is there and he could arrange for an airlift to the hospital, if he wanted to. He now has the leverage to force Florentino to sell but will he?
When the boy Diego is hospitalized, it's determined he needs surgery if his leg is to be saved. The head doctor dumps the decision onto Maria: he says the hospital surgeon is too busy and she must choose who get the next surgery. Will she possibly save her mother Gloria's life or will she choose the boy Diego to save his leg?
I won't ruin the rest of the plot for you. The acting in this movie is good. You'll be glad it is, if you don't know Spanish, because you'll have to read their body language. Most of this movie is in English but the residents of Peru speak Spanish, and when I saw it, only the English speakers were close captioned. Nonetheless, I understood the Spanish portion of everything I just wrote here from watching the actors' reactions.
