197095 min6.8 / 10

A bleak, unflinching examination of poverty, brutality, and moral culpability rooted in a true crime that challenges viewers to confront the humanity of the indefensible.

Based on an actual murder case that ignited a furious debate over the death penalty in Chile in 1960, this experimental social drama portrays the life and death of an illiterate peasant who, while drunk, murdered the woman with whom he had a relationship and her five children.
