In 1877 a Swiss aristocrat, Alfred von Rodt, became the governor of the remote Chilean island that gave birth to the legend of Robinson Crusoe. Exiled from his country and family, Von Rodt strived to build a utopian “little kingdom” until his death, but failed and lost his entire fortune. The film tells the story of this outcast through the lives of his descendants, who today seek political autonomy and a preservation of their indigenous identity.

Der welsche Regisseur Stéphane Goël ist auf das Eiland gereist; sein Film zeigt, wie die Nachfahren von Rodts ihr Leben an diesem unwirtlichen Ort meistern. Im Off spricht Pedro Lenz Auszüge aus dem Tagebuch des Berners, der trotz allem an seinem «kleinen Königreich» festhielt. Und wenn die heutigen Bewohner finden, man solle die Zuwanderung regulieren, erinnert das an einen uns wohlbekannten Staat, der sich auch gerne als Insel sieht.
