Socialist Realism

Overview

A biting satire captures the final, feverish days of Salvador Allende’s Popular Unity government, just before the 1973 coup. Instead of a single narrative, the film weaves together a collection of vignettes where starkly different lives collide—from political idealists to those simply trying to survive the chaos. These intersecting tales, at once absurd and tragic, expose the fractures and contradictions tearing at a nation on the brink, painting a darkly comedic portrait of a revolution unraveling under the weight of its own hopes.
