synopsis
The film deals with the circumstances of a mysterious crime that took place in 1973. Just before the Pinochet‘s coup, an antenna for the right-wing Channel 5 was installed in Concepción but was subsequently destroyed under unclear circumstances. A few days later the body of an artist was found murdered in an unusual way. The investigation of the decades-old case, however, was interrupted by the coronavirus epidemic...This investigative film shows the current pandemic and the isolation that results from it as drivers for overactive imagination, speculation, and the unravelling of forgotten mysteries.biography
