- Summary
- A psychological thriller in a documentary format, the film tells the story of a young Swedish - Chilean and his emotional scars, inner turmoil and trauma resulting from a life in exile and the absence of a father brutally assassinated by the military regime of Chile’s Augusto Pinochet. The film focuses on Raymond’s trip to Santiago de Chile, which he makes in order to reconcile with the assassins of his socialist father. The film is a violent clash between past and present, between a son, who denies the political ideals of his father and who wants to build bridges between the torturers of Pinochet’s dictatorship and the victims they left behind, among them his own father.
