Director Statement

The film is inspired by the news about the burned bodies found in a supermarket in San Bernardo, Santiago de Chile in the context of the popular revolt of 2019, and on the hypothesis of a setup by a former DINA agent, police secret from the military dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet in the 1970s.
