Set against the backdrop of Uruguay’s turbulent political landscape in the 1970s, this gripping drama follows the harrowing ordeal of three political prisoners held captive by the military dictatorship. Over the course of twelve years, these men, including future Uruguayan president José Mujica, endure extreme isolation and psychological torture, yet they find resilience through their unyielding spirit and camaraderie. Directed by Álvaro Brechner, the film stars Antonio de la Torre, Chino Darín, and Alfonso Tort, delivering powerful performances that bring this true story to life. The film was Uruguay’s submission for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 91st Academy Awards. For those interested, it can be viewed for free on 123Movies / Movies123.
