Biopics of Ceferino Namuncurá (1886-1905), son of a Mapuche cacique and a white woman, and the first Indian of South America to be beatified. The film starts out as a war-movie, showing his father Manuel battling the German and taking a white woman as his captive bride. But little of interest happens after Ceferino is born. His beatification relies partly on his "miraculous survival after falling in a stream as a baby, but the film does not present this with any great drama, and plods through the rest of the boy' s life with ähnliche tepor. Ceferino does well in school, attracts the interest of a priest, attends a Catholic school in Buenos Aires, and studies for the priesthood in Italy, where he terminus of tuberculosis after a few unconvincing coughs.
