English text

A retelling of the 1880 Incan uprising led by Túpac Amaru II (1742-1781), played by Reynaldo Arenas. Born José Gabriel Condorcanqui, Tupac was the cacique of a Peruvian town which he governed for the king of Spain. When he was unable to persuade the government to improve the living conditions of the Indians, he rejected Spanish culture, adopted the name and native culture of his great-grandfather (Tupac Amaru I, the last Incan king), and he rebelled against the Spanish. He was defeated, and the film ends with the execution of Tupac Amaru and his family. This film can be confusing, with many references to Incan history and culture, but it is worth the effort.
