A 1931 silent melodrama, completely pro-military, filmed in real locations, with actors mixed in with sailors. The mere fact that it documented the army, which at the time ruled Argentina, being its first military coup, gives the film an even more cinematic value.

In a remote South American colony in the late 18th century, officer Zama of the Spanish crown waits in vain for a transfer to a more prestigious location. He suffers small humiliations and petty politicking as he increasingly succumbs to lust and paranoia.
