Synopsis
Liborio is a peasant who gets lost in a hurricane and takes shelter in a cave. When his township considers him dead, he is found by his son. Awaken, Liborio says he’s been given a mission: to bring the good and take away the evil. He begins to cure the sick, to speak the truth and teach by example. People begin to congregate by his side. He moves to the mountains to have total freedom and develop his dream of an independent community. Local authorities offer him weapons in exchange for his loyalty to side with them in the case of political unrest. The US Marines invade the country and want to disarm and disband the community. Liborio wants to avoid a confrontation but knows they can’t run forever.
