2016 · 102 min · Drama

After the death of his father, young Pedro Pérez Delgado (Maisanta) becomes the man of the house. To help support his mother and sister, he begins working for Colonel Macías, who betrays his trust by courting his sister Petra despite being married, dishonoring the family name—a family honor his father had asked him to defend at any cost. Amid stories of love, betrayal, and vengeance, the figure of Maisanta is forged. The fair-skinned, blond-haired boy whom many called “The American” would eventually become a legend, known by his battle cry: Maisanta!
