Roberto Chignoli

The film revolves around the concept of soap opera. Its structure is based on the assumption that Chilean reality does not exist, but rather is an ensemble of soap operas.

Sur la base d'événements réels, Johnny García, 17 ans, s'engage avec quatre voyous plus âgés qui envisagent de cambrioler une entreprise de blanchiment d'argent se faisant passer pour un magasin de vidéos. Alors qu'ils tentent de s'échapper, un essaim d'attention médiatique d'exploitation les attend.

In this film the director's recurring concerns return: the divisions in the Chilean left, and its contradictions between what the director calls the "traditional" and the "revolutionary" left. The problem is exposed through the doubts and obsessions of a strange police chief who cannot establish the limits between critical behavior and militant responsibility.

An aged former sailor, ill and confined in his bed, maintains his firm grip on his house and his son, who is having an affair with the widowed next door, through many mirrors displayed in his room and all around the house.
