Simultaneously a foreign film, theatre play, epic history and Telenovela, ¡EL CONQUISTADOR! was created on location in Bogotá, Colombia and centres around Polonio, a peasant who flees his war-ravaged village to become a soap opera star. What he finds is a post as the doorman of the New World Building whose crazy and exotic residents are played by some of Latin America’s best TV stars (who appear via video-phone system).
