Synopsis

In 1977, the body of Aldo Marín (24) was blown to pieces when he tried to detonate a bomb in Turin. The mistake put an end to a lonely path to overthrow the Pinochet dictatorship. Through snippets of the life of an anonymous young man who chose his own road map, we reflect on conviction and deception, power and the ethics of violence.
