Description
Sinopsis: Håkan Söderström, conocido como "el Halcón", un joven inmigrante sueco que llega a California en plena Fiebre del Oro, emprende una peregrinación imposible en dirección a Nueva York, sin hablar el idioma, en busca de su hermano Linus, a quien perdió cuando embarcaron en Europa. En su extraño viaje, Håkan se topará con un buscador de oro irlandés demente y con una mujer sin dientes que lo viste con un abrigo de terciopelo y zapatos con hebilla. Conocerá a un naturalista visionario y se hará con un caballo llamado Pingo. Será perseguido por un sheriff sádico y por un par de soldados depredadores de la guerra civil. Atrapará animales y buscará comida en el desierto, y finalmente se convertirá en un proscrito. Acabará retirándose a las montañas para subsistir durante años como trampero, en medio de la naturaleza indómita, sin ver a nadie ni hablar, en una suerte de destrucción planeada que es, al mismo tiempo, un renacimiento. Pero su mito crecerá y sus supuestas hazañas lo convertirán en una leyenda.
Description
Synopsis: Håkan Söderström, known as "El Falcon", a young Swedish immigrant who arrives in California in full gold fever, undertakes an impossible pilgrimage in the direction of New York, without speaking the language, in search of his brother Linus, to whom He lost when they embarked on Europe. On his strange trip, Håkan will run into an insane Irish gold seeker and with a woman without teeth who saw him with a velvet coat and shoes with buckle. He will meet a visionary naturalist and will be done with a horse called Pingo. He will be persecuted by a sadistic sheriff and a pair of predators of the civil war. It will catch animals and look for food in the desert, and finally become a proscribed. He will end up retiring to the mountains to subsist for years as a trapper, in the midst of indomitable nature, without seeing anyone or speak, in a kind of planned destruction that is, at the same time, a rebirth. But his myth will grow and his supposed feats will make him a legend.
