Donde viven los bárbaros
Three cousins decide to meet in Chile after many years without seeing each other. The host, Roberto, director of an NGO, is involved in the strange murder of a young woman, an event that unleashes violence among the guests. That night, which promised to be a quiet event among family members, turns into an increasingly terrible evening, a situation that does not improve with the irruption of certain characters who sharpen the conflicts and the ideas that each has built about the other, about the enemy. Dónde viven los Bárbaros questions the way in which fear and violence are constructed in democracy.
