One of the most famous rescues in history.
Peru, 16th century. Strange, bearded, strong-smelling men, covered in hard metals that prevent arrows from penetrating their skin and equipped with unknown lethal weapons that cause damage similar to that of a lightning bolt, have arrived in Cajamarca on giant llamas and have captured the all-powerful Inca Atahualpa.
General Cusi Yupanqui summons the former spy of the secret service of the Inca empire, Yunpacha, a son of Chanca peasants who had access to a privileged education in Cuzco for his ability to count figures at an extraordinary speed and the best person for this plan. The General tells him that his last mission will be to become a spy disguised as a “collector of remains” so as not to arouse suspicion. He must find out about the Spaniards and prepare an attack to free the Inca Atahualpa.
