Description
In the feverish delirium of his final night, a Chilean priest named Sebastian Urrutia Lacroix confronts the specters of his past. As he believes his life is ebbing away, figures both real and imagined emerge from the shadows, transforming into chilling apparitions. Among these phantoms are literary giants like Pablo Neruda and Ernst Junger, and even the formidable General Augusto Pinochet, who receives unexpected Marxist lessons. This introspective journey delves into the complex intersection of faith, art, and politics during a turbulent era, exploring the profound impact of memory and guilt on a man's soul.
