Synopsis

In 1983 Ernesto de la Fuente abandoned his work as a boom operator to settle in a lost forest in Chiloé. Things did not turn out as he expected, his family abandoned him and his business failed. In solitude, he began communicating by radio with mysterious people who said they lived in a so-called «Friendship Island» in close relationship with an alien race. Ernesto worked for them for five years, taking visitors to the island from where theynever came back. In parallel, countless Chileans were being abducted by Pinochet’s dictatorship. This is the starting point for one of the strangest cases in recent ufological history and the story of a man reshaping his memory.
