Noreste histórico, El carácter de la lejanía
More than four hundred years ago, a new conquest of Mexico, very different from the one undertaken by Cortés in Tenochtitlán, took place in the north of New Spain. While looking for mines and cities of gold, the greedy adventurers found arid lands, a horrendous climate and a ferocious enemy that would have preferred death to submission: the Chichimeca Indians. This documentary shows how the profile of the northerner of today owes his essential characteristics to this history: self-affirmation, valor, leadership, a sense of risk and love for individual freedom are all part of what have come to be called the 'demeanor of distance'.
