| Synopsis: |
In May 1879 when the War of the Pacific began, it was jealousy that kept Tros out of the navy. Eventually he was given charge of naval transports, a calculated insult to a fighting man you might say, a small bone thrown to Commander Tros, a gesture to demonstrate fresh thinking after the destruction of the Chilean fleet at Callao. In spite of this insult it became his war and in 1881 he was Tros, the Supreme Military and Political Commander and Last Viceroy of Peru. The Chinese peons he liberated from slavery called him The Red Prince. After his death in 1910 his daughter Kleo leaves Chile for Paris and begins her career as a photographer. In 1913 she moves to Berlin, living there during the war and the Weimar years of drugs, sex, music and street fighting. She falls in love with Eyna, a girl with a Bolshevik past. When their portrait studio becomes popular with the Nazis Kleo is recruited by British Intelligence. |
