HIJOS DEL DESIERTO (SONS OF THE DESERT) is an exciting period drama set in northern Chile against a backdrop of political upheaval and international intrigue in the 1930s. The story begins in 1907 during a salt miners strike when the parents of brothers Pedro (Gastón Salgado, Inés of My Soul) and Gaspar (Jorge Arecheta, La Jauría) are massacred by the government while protesting for better working conditions in the mines. In the aftermath of this devastating loss, the young brothers face another heartbreak as they are forcibly separated -- never to see each other again for 30 years. Though when they meet again, they are unaware that they are brothers, and become enemies as they stand on opposite sides of the law and fall in love with the same woman.
