Synopsis

Fifty years after the car bomb that killed Chilean diplomat Orlando Letelier a mile from the White House, his four sons reconstruct his last three months of life: the summer of 1976, when, from exile, he mobilized the world against Pinochet, unaware that the dictatorship had already given the order to kill him.
