Details of this exile are delivered in narration by Gael Garcia Bernal, playing the detective who is tasked with tracking him down.

Critics
It is a brilliantly ambiguous, insidious portrait of an often venal and hypocritical man. Larrain’s skill is to draw him as someone who nevertheless deserves his heroic status as a key figure in Chile’s struggle
