But his life begins to unravel when a Chilean private detective comes to investigate the disappearance of a confrontational stranger Claudio had humiliated some months before.

Our take

A repressed silence pervades this unnerving political thriller, set in the murky swamp of Argentina’s ‘70s decade. A majestic feat fuelled by the simmering tension of a murder investigation and the sordid revelations of historical excavation—culminating with Alfredo Castro’s goosebump-inducing turn.
