In the presence of the film crew

The five most ruthless right-hand men in Pinochet’s dictatorship are serving sentences amounting to several hundred years in a luxurious prison at the foot of the Andes. The place has a pool, gardens, and aviaries, where the inmates are watched over by guards who seem more like their employees. When one of the inmates gives a television interview, his declarations fuel an unexpected backlash. Fear of a possible move to another facility makes the men do everything in their power to stay put, unravelling delirium and violence.
