The reckless action went down in history and its participants were left in oblivion and didn’t share the same fate.

The afternoon of Sunday September 7th 1986, a command of the Manuel Rodríguez Patriotic Front – the armed wing of the Communist Party – set an ambush to a caravan taking Pinochet. The temerarious action faded into history and its characters fell into oblivion.

Based on real events and narrated as a political and police thriller, the film’s narration follows a non lineal structure that tells us a story about loyalty and betrayal from the point of view of Ramiro, a former physical education teacher who has devoted himself to the armed struggle, forgetting about personal relationships; Sacha, a humble young man from the slums in Santiago, a football enthusiast with no political training and Tamara, an attractive psychologist who left behind a high class family to live underground and become the only woman with a commander rank in the Patriotic Front. All of them have a common goal: to kill Pinochet.

Directed by:  Juan Ignacio Sabatini.
