Movie Description In 1528 a Spanish explorer survived a shipwreck that took the lives of all 600 of his shipmates. For 8 years he wandered through the Florida wilderness learning the ways of an Indian tribe, only to see his new and old lives clash with the arrival of the Conquistadors. This is his hauntingly stylistic true story.
