A 55min documentary about the lost civilisation of the Guanches, the aboriginals of the Canary Islands.
From the descendants of Atlantis to the opponents of the Roman Empire left on the islands as prisoners... or mysterious pyramid builders.... Many legends surround these people who lived far from the continent and were isolated from the rest of the world.
