1976

It's winter 1976 and for upper-class Chilean housewife Carmen (Aline Küppenheim), life's most pressing concerns center around which cashmere sweater to wear and what shade of pink looks best on the walls of her family's Las Cruces beach house. Forgoing her medical training for a life of privilege as the wife of successful doctor Miguel, she's unexpectedly called upon by local priest Father Sanchez to, in absolute secrecy, nurse critically wounded Elías back to health. As the relationship between nurse and patient deepens, and bodies of disappeared political dissidents begin washing up on local beaches, Carmen realizes the true horror of life under the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet, and the high price she's paid after a lifetime of suppressing her own dreams and desires. But as her political awakening takes hold and her actions become more brazen, Carmen finds herself walking a very dangerous tightrope, with unseen threats around every corner and falling ever deeper into danger even her class privilege cannot protect her from, in this thrilling feature debut from acclaimed actress Manuela Martelli.
