Irene Beltrán works for a magazine in a country ruled by a military dictatorship, protected at first by family privilege and a fiancé connected to the regime. Photographer Francisco Leal, whose own family has experienced political persecution, accompanies her on an assignment involving a young woman believed to possess supernatural powers.
Their investigation uncovers evidence of state violence and a concealed mass grave. As professional curiosity becomes moral commitment and love, Irene must decide whether truth can be published inside a system built on fear, censorship and disappearance. The unnamed setting closely evokes Chile under military rule.
