It’s 1976 and dictator Pinochet has been imposing his iron-fisted rule on Chile for three years. In a climate of fear and paranoia, Carmen, an upper-class woman, enters new territory that is far removed from her former, quiet life and is full of risks for her.

With its outstanding female lead, the film is a fascinating blend of character study and thriller in the Hitchcockian tradition.
