1970'lerdeki Latin Amerikan tarihinin belleği niteliğindeki Sıkıyönetim, ABD'nin bu kıtadaki müdahalelerini de çarpıcı bir dille gözler önüne sererken, yakın tarihin ciddi yaralarından birini deşiyor ve bir insanlık suçunun gelecek nesiller tarafından bile unutulmayacağını dehşetle gösteriyordu. Yine olağanüstü oyunculukları ve Theodorakis'in enfes müziğiyle politik sinemanın kilometre taşlarından.Film 1970'de gerçekleşen gerçek olaylara dayanan bir hikâye anlatıyor. 1960-67 yılları arasında Uruguay'da hükümet karşıtı muhaliflerin işkence edilip mahkemeye bile çıkarılmadan hapse atılıp öldürüldükleri dönemde geçiyor. Uluslararası bir örgüt için çalışan bir adam kaçırılır. Halk, onun daima insanlığın yararına çalışan bir iyiliksever olduğuna inanmıştır. Oysa film boyunca yürütülen araştırmada, bu İtalyan asıllı Amerikalının sanılan kişi olmadığı, tersine ülkede meydana gelen birçok siyasal olaydan sorumlu olduğu anlaşılır.

Many socially-concerned priests in Catholic Latin America have at some time left their parish churches to go and work in the fields and factories of the poor.

After 20 years of exile, Aron returns to Chile to find out who he is. He asks questions, not only of those who stayed behind but also of himself, examining his relationship with his past and his own memory. The people who stayed lived through 20 years of dictatorship.

Can he, in Isol's arms and through her love, find his way again ? What future awaits him? Like Mola the torturer, he has returned from an impossible journey, and Aron knows that each man is his own executioner. Shipwreck and resurrection are the two facets of a complex truth.
