In the midst of Pinochet’s 1973 military coup in Chile, bodies pile up in the morgue. Anyone protesting the way corpses are treated is regarded as an enemy. Mortuary worker Mario says nothing. Instead, he tries to get closer to his neighbor, cabaret dancer Nancy, but she suddenly disappears.

L’acclamato regista cileno Pablo Larraín torna alla natura psicotica del fascismo già esplorata in Tony Manero e in No. Post Mortem è un’allegoria cupa e sardonica che disseziona una nazione malata e proietta sul grande schermo un incubo politico.
