Chile, 1976

It is with an ambivalent object, between a placid ambience and a disquieting viscerality, that Chilean Manuela Martelli makes her premiere in a feature film, setting foot behind the camera after an already remarkable career as an actress. She directs the brilliant Aline Küppenheim in the role of Carmen, a well-established married woman who, on a visit to her summer home, finds herself drawn into the political struggle when the local priest asks her to help tend to a wounded resistance fighter. A tepid marital drama turns into a political thriller, chilling in the contrast between conformist comfort and the terror of opposition to the Pinochet regime, in Chile in 1976.
