What is a tailgate? Basically, it's a good excuse to get together and drink Heinekens, spread brie and munch on pepperoni salami and Inez's fried chicken...
...greed and ambition, but we are given no hint of where that greed springs from. The characters barely interact; we see them only as figures moving in a dream. We never learn why Aguirre has brought his 15-year-old daughter on his fatal voyage, or why Dona Inez insisted on accompanying her husband.
