THE STORY
In the 19th century, a man from Périgueux did the unthinkable: he traveled to South America and was elected King by the indigenous Mapuche people. Alongside the warrior chief Kilapan, Antoine fought to protect a kingdom’s independence against the rising Chilean Republic.
Witness his life unfold through three lenses: the dreaming child, the daring king, and the old man looking back. It is a story of conscience, ambition, and the shadows that haunt our dreams.
