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

Veteran photojournalist Richard Boyle has been taking his camera to the world's trouble spots for over 20 years; while he does good work, Boyle's fondness for booze and drugs, and his colossal arrogance, have given him a reputation that's left him practically unemployable. Broke and with no immediate prospects, Boyle and his buddy Doctor Rock, an out-of-work disc jockey, head to El Salvador, where Boyle is convinced that he can scare up some lucrative freelance work amidst the nation's political turmoil. However, when Boyle and Rock witness the execution of a student by government troops just as they enter the country, it becomes clear that this war is more serious than they were expecting. Increasingly convinced that El Salvador is a disaster starting to happen, Boyle eventually decides that it's time to get out; but he has fallen in love with a woman named Maria, and he doesn't want to leave her behind.

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.
