Julio Jung
Character: Pancho Veloso, writer
A writer of entertainment articles returns to his homeland in the Chilean Patagonia, after more than 40 years of absence. A magazine has commissioned him with a series of “profitable” stories with an "end of the world" feel. Using his modern cell phone, Pancho registers his ideas in which memories are mixed with his literary imagination. With this material, in the midst of the Patagonian cold, he will begin to configure a work much more profound than a set of simple stories and, for the first time, will learn to use his real creative abilities to become a true author.
Sergio Hernández
Character: Miguel Ortiz
Miguel was the best friend of writer Pancho Veloso during his infancy and youth. He is an extroverted and friendly man, owner of a small emporium. Although living a very solitary life in the present, Miguel lived during his youth a great love with Mireyita, the beautiful prostitute of the town with whom he managed to form a family before losing them forever. Trying to help the young Pancho in his battle to conquer Rosita's love, he commits a grave error that triggers the escape of his friend. His transformation into a literary character will make him reveal his secret, face his past and let go of the guilt that crushed him.
Magdalena Müller
Character: Rosita
Rosita is a beautiful girl from a wealthy family with who Pancho has been in love with since his childhood. Rosita returns the feelings of the incipient writer and poet, although she is also courted by Juan Carlos, a young army officer who offers a more conventional and opaque life but similar to what she knows. Rosita must choose between the man she loves and the one who offers her a stable and safe life. The solution to this dilemma will inevitably be found through aggressive and violent means.
Arnaldo Berríos
Character: Luciano
When the writer goes back to the Patagonia after 40 years, he reunites with the man who taught him how to find the real values of life since he was a child. Luciano, once being a dancer and now being a sick old man due to a gangrenous leg, will demonstrate Pancho he has forgotten his lessons and, if he wants to help him, he will have to write as he has never written before in order to transform everyone into immortal literary characters.
Nelson Brodt
Character: Pancho’s father
He was born of Spanish parents in Chile. He cannot stand the failure of his existence.

The madness caused by alcohol will make him try to catch the sun with one hand every evening.
