电影讲述了1975年昌巴尔河谷的故事。拉玖提供信息，称她的父亲将向新娘赠送大量黄金和现金，因此辛格（别名大哥，Dadda）预设突袭。由督察古贾尔领导的特别工作组（STF）在辛格获得战利品后攻击他们，这导致团伙之间的分裂。拉克纳希望向警察投降，而瓦基尔则想要叛乱。在逃亡过程中，他们遇见了塔库尔的妻子英都马媞和一位名叫库西的女孩。塔库尔的妻子杀了她公公带着库西逃跑。英都马媞的整个家庭都在追捕她，她恳求拉克纳帮助她小女孩带到医院。在前往医院的中途，拉克纳告诉英都马媞一个关于在房间内杀害无辜儿童的诅咒的故事，导致团伙被轮流杀死。并且他们需要找到金鸟（一个“救世主女孩”的比喻）来摆脱诅咒。这个叫库西的女孩是他们寻找的“救世主”。英都马媞的儿子想要杀死她的母亲，但拉克纳当面说出真相，他的祖父是一个坏人，他祖父是他的亲生父亲。在最后一幕，当女孩住院时，被古贾尔追赶的拉克纳躲在树后面出来投降。拯救金鸟的任务已经完成，但是由于诅咒，拉克纳被古贾尔枪杀。在杀死拉克纳，前往警察局时，古贾尔被一名早些时候被他殴打和侮辱的警员开枪打死。

根据阿根廷当代魔幻现实主义小说家Eduardo Gudino Kieffer的同名作改编成的电影，故事来自一个古老的南美传说，鸟人与无家可归的少女。导演Rodolfo Kuhn是阿根廷新浪潮电影中GLAUBER ROCHA式的人物，而影片的镜头上也与罗查的《痛苦的大地》有相近。可惜在当时阿根廷动荡不安的社会背景下这片没引起注意，不过今天看来它无疑是那个时代阿根廷电影中最有创造力的作品之一。 Maria is a restless but humble young woman who violates a strong taboo of her province of Corrientes in northern Argentina and leaves her home while the sun is high in the sky. She then finds herself being seduced by the Yatsi Terere, the mythological bird-become-man who exists solely for punishing girls who violate the taboo. Eduardo Gudino Kieffer (November 2, 1935 -- September 20, 2002) was an Argentine writer, born in Esperanza, Santa Fe. He was part of the latin american literature boom of the 1960s. He graduated as a lawyer but never practiced law. He wrote novels, essays, short stories, children's books, scripts and theatre plays. He was also a renowned jornalist. His books have been translated to many languages (English language, French language, Portuguese language, Dutch language and Polish language, among others). He was also part of the jury in many literary contests. Because of his works, mainly about Buenos Aires, and thanks to the support of countless friends, he was named "Ciudadano Ilustre de la Ciudad" (Distinguished Citizen of Buenos Aires). He was married and divorced and had three children: Florencio, Nicolas and Agustin. None of them is a writer. He died in Buenos Aires in 2002.
