Plot

Extremadura, siglo XIX. Cuatro niños juegan a cartas a la sombra de una higuera hasta que la llegada de Rogelio cambia sus vidas para siempre. De pequeños, el terrateniente no les permite disfrutar del campo en libertad a base de pedradas y, ya de adultos, empieza a utilizar armas de fuego.

Por ahora, la única víctima ha sido una de las ovejas de nuestros protagonistas, pero quien sabe si, en el futuro, uno de ellos será el damnificado. Es hora de actuar, así que los cuatro amigos deciden escoger, mediante una partida de cartas, quién de ellos matará al opresor.

Extremadura (Spain), 19th century. Four shepherd children play cards under the shade of a fig tree since the arrival of Rogelio will change their lives forever. He won’t allow them to roam freely over the plains and hills anymore. As children, he’d throw rocks at them whenever he saw them, but now that they’re adults, he uses guns.

So far, his only victim is one of the sheep in their flock, but who knows if, in the future, one of them will be next. The time has come to face him and finally do something about it; so the four friends decide to pick, through a game of cards, which of them will be the one to kill their oppressor.
