What happens
El corazón en las tinieblas (English: Heart of Darkness) is a 1990 film directed by Venezuelan Román Chalbaud based on Pierre Kast's project Le Radjah de la Mer, inspired by Joseph Conrad's novella of the same name. Like the novel, the film is about Joseph Conrad's journey to the Congo as a settler between 1890 and 1914. The film shows the difficulties of the Europeans to survive the climate and the diseases of the Congolese jungle, as well as the abuses of the natives by the settlers. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
