Представьте: обшарпанные стены домов, вездесущие армейские патрули, неожиданные ночные визиты военных и внесудебные расстрелы неугодных – таков Парагвай 1974 года. Энтони Хопкинс играет известного парагвайского врача – Джоела Филартигу. По слухам, он пользуется расположением самого Стресснера и считается чуть ли не его личным другом. Это помогает ему чувствовать себя в относительной безопасности и говорить больше, чем положено остальным. Естественно, это многим не нравится. Однако доктор Филартига спокоен: влиятельные покровители и известность за границей – гарант его безопасности. Трагическая гибель сына расставляет всё по своим местам: при кровавой диктатуре никто не застрахован. Официальное заключение о смерти настолько неправдоподобно, что доктору хватает одного беглого взгляда на тело мальчика, чтобы понять: его сын погиб страшной смертью после долгих пыток.

Five surreal short stories make up this Mexican anthology film.
"Occupation of Darkness" - Set in 1934, and meant to dramatize social injustices, this melodrama examines an official's attempt at land reform. The landowners are against any reform and are also not interested in ending the exploitation of their workers. On the opposite side of the fence, the Native Americans have almost no way to better their living conditions or to fight oppression. They are also plagued by "superstition," which leads to some misguided actions that only make things worse. Violence and sexual encounters are interspersed throughout the story.
Drama - Hailed as the first film to portray the Chicano experience -- and the first Chicano film to be financed by the Mexican government -- Raíces de Sangre tells the story of immigrant workers exploited on both sides of the border. Facing unsafe conditions, a group of young Chicano workers tries to organize for better conditions but are thwarted by their own co-workers who've accepted bribes from the Americans in turn for stymieing the effort. - Richard Yniguez, León Singer, Enrique Muñoz
