The end of the 19th century, Tierra Del Fuego. The marriage of an omnipotent latifundista—owner of these lands snatched from the native inhabitants—is about to take place. A photographer, in his fifties, arrives to immortalize the union. With him travels a young girl, the future wife, who’s magnetic beauty obsesses him.

The Hollywood Reporter by Deborah Young
The intriguingly elliptical narrative and the use of highly aestheticized cinematography and music draw the viewer into a web of genocide and a series of shocking events
While the Chilean-Spanish writer/director weighs down every second of Blanco En Blanco with tension and solemnity, its big moments continually hit their marks – including the devastation and absurdity of its prolonged final sequence.
Director Théo Court does a fine job of capturing the barren beauty of this landscape and using it to suggest the broader moral vacuum.
