A PLACE CALLED DIGNITY
Drama.
Pablo, a 12-year-old boy, receives a scholarship to attend school in the mysterious and isolated Colonia Dignidad, established in Chile by German settlers. He quickly becomes the favorite of the leader of the colony, Uncle Paul. Over time, Pablo witnesses the strangest things that happen there: abuse, disappearances and demon-like creatures used to scare children. But in this wicked world, a revolution is brewing, and it may be the only way for Pablo to get out.
“ A small masterpiece of real and raw cinema. (…) The most powerful movie of the selection so far, and my very favourite to take the top prize.”
