In the 1920s, in the Acatama Desert in northern Chile, there is situated
Pampa-Terminal, a small mining town inhabited by mine workers, their employers
and their families. There is a pharmacy, a theatre, a bakery and a
butcher's shop. There are also plenty of brothels. In the town's
cinema, Hirondelle Rivery del Rosario plays piano music to accompany silent
films. She lives with her father, Alexandre Rivery, an anarchist barber
who holds union meetings in his barber's shop. Leading the band to
greet the arrival of the Chilean president, Hirondell will get to meet Bello
