"El origen" is a graphic novel that takes place in 1560 and centers around Alonso de Marmolejo, a young Spanish soldier, who abandons his people to take refuge in Mapuche territory. Immersed in the beautiful landscapes of southern Chile, he meets Millatún, a young woman who is preparing to be a machi. Her beauty steals Alonso's heart, but she already has a boyfriend; a man from Atlantis who docked his ship on Mapuche land because of an emergency. This work explores the early civilizations of Chile.
