Director: Julio Jorquera Arriagada Writer: Julio Jorquera Arriagada Starring: Héctor Morales, Roberto Farías, Manuela Martelli, Ramón Llao Two Chilean men -- Hugo (Héctor Morales) and Octavio (Roberto Farías) -- are thrown into the ring of love just as they are each facing existential issues concerning their own sense of masculinity. Octavio is a successful boxer with an intimidating physical presence, which is not all that dissimilar to Jake La Motta (Robert DeNiro) in Martin Scorsese's Raging Bull.

The story is set in Santiago in 1978, five years into the near-20-year military dictatorship of General Augusto Pinochet — a brutal national ordeal in which thousands of people were murdered and tens of thousands were jailed and tortured.
