Drawing on accounts of Conquistador Hernan Cortes‘ attempt to colonize Baja California, 16th Century cartographies, and a romance adventure novel ripe with Amazons; this experimental doc investigates the fantasies, fears, and fetishes of European explorers through a post-colonial queer lens, and with a bawdy sense of humor to boot!
