Synopsis
Mario (Alfredo Castro) is a pathologist's assistant in Santiago who is responsible for noting down the pathologist's commentary during the post mortem. The job has given him a grey, deathlike appearance. Previously, in the days of the military coup, Mario became involved in a love affair with a show dancer, Nancy (Antonia Zegers), who lives across the street with her younger brother David and her father, a communist and Allende supporter. On the morning of September 11, the date of the coup, a military raid takes place in Nancy’s house. Her brother and father are arrested. Mario then begins a frantic search for Nancy, who has disappeared, all the while having to endure pressure from the military who want to hide the real cause of death of the bodies piling up in the morgue.Actors

The writing team of Nava and Thomas split the story into three parts: Arturo Xuncax: The first part takes place in a small rural Guatemalan village called San Pedro and introduces the Xuncax family, a group of indigenous Mayans. Arturo is a coffee picker and his wife a homemaker. Arturo explains to his son, Enrique, his world view and how the indio fares in Guatemalan life, noting that, "to the rich, the peasant is just a pair of strong arms". Arturo and his family then discuss the possibility of going to the United States where "all the people, even the poor, own their own cars". Because of his attempts to form a labor union among the workers, Arturo and the other organizers are attacked and murdered by government troops when a co-worker is bribed to betray them—Arturo's severed head is seen hanging from a tree. When Enrique attempts to climb the tree that displays his father's head, a soldier attacks him. Enrique fights and kills the attacker, only to learn that many of their fellow villagers have been rounded up by soldiers. The children's mother too "disappears": abducted by soldiers. So, using money given to them by their godmother, Enrique and his sister Rosa decide to flee Guatemala, the land of their birth, and head north.

The story takes place entirely during a few months in 1970, in the city of São Paulo. Mauro, a 12-year-old boy, is suddenly deprived of the company of his young parents, Bia and Daniel Stein, who are political activists on the run from the harsh military government, which was strongly repressing leftists all over the country. Against this backdrop of fear and political persecution, the country is at the same time bursting with enthusiasm for the coming World Cup, to be held in Mexico, the first one to be transmitted live via satellite.

L'action se déroule dans un pays imaginaire, l'Eldorado, qui offre, cependant, des similitudes avec le Brésil des années 1960. Au plus fort d'une époque en crise, le poète Paulo Martins est écartelé entre ses aspirations politiques et sa passion artistique. À l'agonie, il évoque, à présent, son parcours. Il a servi deux leaders politiques. L'un, Dom Porfirio Diaz, l'a protégé, utilisant son talent littéraire à des fins de pouvoir. Pourtant, Paulo Martins le trahit pour rejoindre ses adversaires politiques groupés autour de Don Felipe Vieira, dirigeant populiste et démagogique. Après son élection comme gouverneur, Vieira, confronté à l'inconsistance des promesses faites aux paysans pauvres, finit par utiliser Paulo Martins à des fins policières. Désabusé, le poète se replie sur lui-même et sur ses premières amours avec une fiancée bourgeoise présentée, autrefois, par Dom Porfirio Diaz, commettant une infidélité à l'égard de Sara, militante de l'autre camp... Mais, Sara et ses camarades l'enjoignent et le convainquent de les rallier à nouveau. Il trahit une seconde fois Diaz et de façon plus grave. Ce dernier réussit, cependant, à être couronné. Quant à Paulo Martins, « sa quête conjointe de la "justice et de la beauté" le vouera donc à un destin de déchirure, de trahisons successives de lui-même et de ses amis (et de ses amantes), et finalement à ne pouvoir dépasser l'horreur et le dégoût que dans la mort et le sacrifice.
