Venezuelan film directed by Luis Alberto Lamata

In 16th-century Spanish America, a Dominican friar named Santiago survives a brutal expedition and is absorbed into a Carib tribe. When he flees tribal conflict only to be captured by Spanish forces accused of heresy, he is forced to confront the clash between his ideals and the violence of conquest.

Salserín, la primera vez, candidly recounts a story of teenage love framed in the genesis of a salsa band that was once a musical phenomenon in the mid-nineties.
