Synopsis
The story starts in 1880, near the date when the remains of the deceased Jos de San Martn were moved to Buenos Aires. A veteran of the Army of the Andes gets an interview for the event, and the narration continues mostly through a flashback. The telling of the events does not follow the complete biography of San Martn, focusing instead in the Crossing of the Andes and the later Battle of Chacabuco.

Production
with Tristn Bauer and Rodrigo de la Serna in the official presentation of the film
The production of the movie was announced at Casa Rosada, with the presence of President Cristina Fernndez de Kirchner, the governor of the province of San Juan, Jos Luis Gioja, Minister of Education Juan Carlos Tedesco, the director of the National System of Public Media, Tristn Bauer, and actor Rodrigo de la Serna.
At the announcement, the President stated that "'this is a very special moment for everyone because addressing from public television the Crossing the Andes is more than just remember a milestone in the struggle for emancipation.'"[http://www.casarosada.gov.ar/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=5973&Itemid=66p Presentacin de la pelcula "San Martn, el cruce de Los Andes"] She explained that the movie would focus on the personal traits of San Martin, and pointed that if San Martn "'had listened to the voices who say that nothing can be done, that everything is impossible, he would still be in Mendoza and we would be subjects of the King of Spain.'".
The filming started on June 1 of 2009 at the Calingasta valley in the province of San Juan, with a crew of more than 100 people.[http://www.encuentro.gov.ar/Content.aspx?Id=2886 San Martn.
