In this harrowing drama, the father of a gay Chilean man tries to deal with the violent death of his son.


An impressively multi-layered debut, based on the openly gay Chilean Daniel Zamudio who was murdered by Neo-Nazis. A true story which shook the entire Latin American continent.


When Pablo secretely starts cross-dressing and is badly wounded in a brutal homophobic attack which lands him in the hospital, his father realizes just how far they have become estranged. A lack of witnesses and expensive medical bills force Juan to leave the quiet stability of his life and to re-position himself in a world where there is discrimination. Time and again his efforts come to naught, until one night on the streets of Santiago he makes up his own rules in order to save his son.


In 2012 the murder by neo-Nazis of an openly gay Chilean man, Daniel Zamudio, shocked all of Latin America.
