La Pluma del arcangel
A remote village in the Venezuelan Andes in the 1930s is held in a state of fear as the country's dictator telegraphs harsh edicts and sentences daily. Each new telegraph brings pain and hopelessness.

But when the town's telegrapher dies, a mysterious man in a white suit (Ivan Tamayo) arrives to take his place. Suddenly the lives of the villagers change for the better as the telegraphs take on a radically progressive tone.

The impossible becomes commonplace in this magical adaptation of a story by the great Venezuelan writer Arturo Uslar Pietri.
