Plot
The film centers on the conflicts between visiting prostitutes and fishermen's wives in a small fishing village in rural Southern Chile. The village has become obsessed with Chilean abalone[2][3] (known as "loco" in Spanish, which has a dual meaning of both abalone and craziness). Chaos erupts when the Chilean government temporarily lifts the ban on the collection of this prized mollusk, which is believed to have aphrodisiacal effects.[4]
