Description
These so-called "conquistadores" are a handful of Spaniards fleeing an unpleasant serfdom in Europe. One might even call them refugees, seeking a better life in the New World, one that they´ll hack out of the wilderness with their own two hands. The leader is not wearing his military overcoat. He seems to have given it to a woman who appears pregnant. One could therefore assume that she is pregnant with his child, and also by the way she is looking daggers at the other woman, who might be following her man a little too closely. When he warns them that he senses danger, the second woman almost bumps into him, and that sets off alarm bells for the soon-to-be mother. She does what many women do. She stops walking with them, to see how far they get before noticing. Every step they take away from her is an admission of guilt. But she is testing them in entirely the wrong place, oblivious to the very real danger beside her.
