En 1973, à la suite d'un coup d'état, s'installe en Uruguay une dictature militaire qui s'empresse d'emprisonner les opposants politiques. Parmi eux, trois dirigeants des Tupamaros, José Mujica dit Pepe, Eleuterio Fernández Huidobro dit Ñato et Mauricio Rosencof que le pouvoir en place considère comme des otages qui seront exécutés à la moindre action de leurs quelques compagnons d'arme restés en liberté. Incarcérés sans procès pendant douze ans, les trois hommes sont torturés, privés de tout contact, ballotés de geôles sordides en culs de basse fosse, affamés et maintenu dans un état de crasse indescriptible. Malgré cela, les trois hommes résistent en repensant aux moments heureux de leur vie, en communiquant en frappant sur les murs ou en mettant en évidence l'absurdité du régime pénitentiaire. Ils font échouer ainsi le plan des militaires de les rendre fous faute de pouvoir les tuer.

Il avait été conçu pour préparer les troupes américaines entrées en Allemagne après le débarquement à la mise en place de la dénazification. Le commentaire du film, volontiers schématique et virulent, était tout entier préoccupé par le danger que pouvaient courir les jeunes soldats au contact d’un pays dont toute l’histoire prouvait le bellicisme et l’immaturité politique : en chaque Allemand ordinaire sommeillait un ancien ou futur nazi, d’où la nécessité d’être constamment sur ses gardes et de ne pas entretenir avec la population des liens de trop grande proximité. Repris au cours de l’année 1945 par les frères Warner sous le titre Hitler Lives ?, le film remporta l’Oscar du meilleur documentaire de court métrage.
