Kansas, a disillusioned stuntman working on the set of an American Western being filmed in Peru, finds himself caught between two worlds. As the Hollywood production wraps up, Kansas decides to stay behind in the remote Andean village where the movie was shot. Seeking simplicity and solitude, he begins to immerse himself in the local culture and forms a romantic relationship with native woman Maria. However, his plans for a peaceful existence are disrupted when the villagers, influenced by the chaos brought by the film crew, begin re-enacting the shooting of the movie with makeshift cameras and pretend violence, ultimately blurring the lines between reality and fiction.

As tensions rise, Kansas becomes increasingly disturbed by the village's ritualistic obsession with cinema. The boundaries between real-life and staged scenes start to dissolve, leading to confusion and violence. The community’s leader, influenced by their distorted perceptions from the film, grows increasingly hostile towards Kansas. Struggling with his own identity and sense of morality, Kansas must navigate this troubling milieu where his past life in Hollywood and present existence among the villagers collide. The cultural clash unveils deep-seated issues of exploitation, control, and escapism, challenging Kansas to confront his own inner conflicts as reality spirals out of control around him.
