The Summer of Flying Fish
Manena goes on vacation with her father, Francisco, to a part of southern Chile. She discovers that her father's obsession with catching all the carp in his artificial lagoon is making the local Mapuche tribe angry, so she has to stop him. Manena is a very determined teenager, and the darling daughter of Pancho, a rich Chilean landowner who devotes his vacations to a single obsession: the extermination of carp fish that invade his artificial lagoon. As he resorts to more and more extreme methods, Manena experiences her first love, deception; and discovers a world that silently co-exists alongside her own: that of the Mapuche Indian workers who claim access to these lands - and who stand up to her father.
