Spoilers ahead

In late 19th-century Chiloé, Rosa Rain Valentina Véliz Caileo — the indigenous girl — and her father toil for German settlers who raise sheep, living under a fragile balance between two worlds. A lamb massacre becomes a flashpoint when the German patriarch Stefan Sebastian Hülk lays blame on the local indigenous community, fanning tensions that threaten the quiet life Rosa knows. When Rosa’s father steps in, he is torn from this world by Stefan’s dogs, a brutal act that leaves Rosa drowning in grief and anger. She turns to the town mayor, hopeful for justice, only to find that the mayor is unwilling to jeopardize the fragile harmony with the German settlers and refuses to intervene.
