Dirty, disheveled and simmering with anti-immigrant rage, Gerardo (Marcelo Alonso) patrols his Buenos Aires neighborhood ready to take action against any of his perceived enemies of society. When he is arrested after a violent act of vigilantism, police quickly realize the troubled loner may be connected to an unsolved 1973 political assassination attributed to the far-right, CIA-backed terrorist group Fatherland and Liberty. Soon Gerardo’s shadowy four-decade-old connections to former upper-middle class reactionaries Justo (Gabriel Urzúa) and beauty queen Inés (María Valverde) come under fresh scrutiny. The now wealthy and powerful Inés and a still-troubled Justo (played in later years by Mercedes Morán and Felipe Armas, respectively) are forced to silence their former associate by any means necessary, putting past and present on a violent collision course in this breathless and timely political thriller from director Andrés Wood (Machuca) and co-writer Guillermo Calderón (The Club).
