Chilean Holliday
Synopsis:
As Santiago celebrates the second anniversary of Pinochet's coup d'etat in 1973, one Chilean family marches to its own Latin rhythms. Romance, a birthday and plenty of homemade brew make theirs a festive backyard soiree--until plans to emigrate are revealed and collaborators are confronted. At a time when the darkest secrets are known only to secret police, this political-romantic comedy pries into the future of two cynics who are hatefully in love
