A film about modern-day Chile and a look at the social and political system left by Pinochet, as seen through the portraits of Pinochetists, those thousands of people of all classes who believe in the continuity of an authoritarian, ultra-liberal, somewhat feudalistic system. Their discourse is alike in their justification of the brutal repression of the past as an urgent necessity for reestablishing order and saving the country from the "socialist menace." We realize just how far this system of thought is rooted in modern Chilean society and risks to persevere despite the recent progress in justice. This film is also a moral inquiry whose lead question is to know how these people, fully aware of the horrors committed, could still be Pinochetists. We try to elucidate the problem using a comprehensive but in no way relativist approach. In short, this is a film that denounces those aspects of the Pinochetist machine which did not cease to function with the return of democracy, even to the point of closing the generation gap.
