- Summary:
- "Since the introduction of coffee growing, the history of Guatemala has been dictated by a small but very influential German community. The old coffee barons lead you through their huge plantations and drawing-rooms, show old films and faded photographs...But war and violence reigns in a country of permanent dictatorship: the indians are continously battling against land confiscation, abuse and massacres. Without commentary, the film describes a situation which, although modulated during the course of time, still basically remains the same."--Container.
