In 1532, Francisco de Pizarro led fewer than two hundred men into the heart of the Inca Empire and brought a civilization of millions to its knees. What drove this man—from humble beginnings in Spain—to defy impossible odds and confront Atahualpa’s army of 30,000 warriors? Through striking reenactments and expert insight, the film explores how faith, greed, and unyielding ambition collided in one of history’s most shocking encounters, forever changing the fate of two worlds. Beyond the conquest, it delves into the man himself—visionary and tyrant, believer and betrayer—revealing how his thirst for glory became a symbol of both human courage and moral ruin. Set against the breathtaking landscapes of the Andes, this journey exposes the hidden cost of empire: the blood spilled, the cultures erased, and the myths that still echo through the ruins of Cuzco.

It is an intimate and disturbing portrait of a family unraveling in the age of constant connectivity.

From ephemeral home video clips to voice messages never before heard, this film weaves together the intimate, fragile, and incandescent life of a musician who defied convention—and whose flame was extinguished far too soon. We are drawn into a world where every whispered lyric, every undone recording, and every memory shared by those who loved him becomes a portal. We hear his own voice recounting his doubts. We see raw behind-the-scenes moments, fragile family relationships, and the creative tensions that accompany genius. Through interviews with his mother, former lovers, bandmates, and collaborators, the story casts a luminous, unsettling light on the weight of legacy, the burden of expectations, and the search for identity in the shadow of a father whose name he both carried and sought to transcend. This is not just a chronicle of dates and albums—but a pulse, an echo, a lament and a celebration. It asks: when someone leaves too early, how do we piece together what remains? And what does it mean to live forever through music?
