Through the story of the funeral of Juan José Maripán Marileo, a respected member of the seaside community of San Juan de la Costa, this short documentary relates the influence of the legendary man “Gallito Catrilef” and the events which led Juan José to become a leader in the community of Aukamapu in the Aleucapi sector. It offers perspective on the origin of the territorial conflict which the Chilean state maintains to the present day against the Mapuche people.
