Mono con Gallinas or Open Wound is a film which narrates the events of the conflict between Ecuador and Peru on the southern border in 1941, when Jorge (Rene Pastor) joins the Ecuadorian military and is captured by Peruvian forces. While recovering from his injuries, a fellow captive plans an escape, and Jorge must decide to stay away or stay with the nurse he's in love with.
The movie is based on the life of the great-uncle of the film director Alfredo León León, Jorge León Chávez when he was 18 years old and was a soldier of the border conflict against Peru in 1941. Much of the story is fiction reconstructed from the experiences of Jorge, who was imprisoned for 8 or 9 months by the Peruvian army in Iquitos and because no one found out about this, they gave him for dead, thus far appearing in military records as killed in war. The film is not about the war itself, rather it is the story of Jorge's captivity, and it is not considered a biopic or historical document. The name of the film was given by the name given by the opposing sides, where the Ecuadorians were called monkeys and the Peruvians chickens.
The following weapons were used in the film Open Wound:
