Manuel, imprisoned in southern Chile, escapes during the earthquake of February 27th, 2010 as the prison collapses. Amidst the chaos, he becomes a fugitive, lost in the catastrophe’s aftermath.

This third feature from Sebastián Lelio continues the acclaimed Chilean filmmaker’s examinations of faith and freedom. Shot—and largely improvised—amid the devastation of the 2010 earthquake, The Year of the Tiger draws poignancy and power from the detritus of emotional and spiritual wreckage.
