Storyline

Chile, 1975. Against the backdrop of Augusto Pinochet's authoritarian military government, we probe into the sad life of a cold, blankly inscrutable lady and her monotonous routine: the impassive woman goes to work, travels back and forth to a mysterious house, plays with her German Shepherd, bakes cakes, and is concerned about her weight. However, as her story unfolds through daily rituals, a beastly portrait starts to take shape, bringing to light the shocking picture of the enduring damage done to a country shattered by unpunished crimes and sickening atrocities.
