A man travelling through Chile in the 1970s is abducted by the secret police during the military coup that brought Pinochet to power. His girlfriend tries to find out what has happened to him, but to uncover the truth, she must join a cult posing as a charitable organisation, from which no one has ever escaped. Drama, starring Emma Watson and Daniel Bruhl
Ruled over by General Augusto Pinochet in the early 1970s, Chile's "Colonia Dignidad" was a secluded compound used to torture political prisoners among other unspeakable acts. German director Florian Gallenberger makes this the setting for an occasionally tense thriller that doubles as a prison-break movie. Emma Watson stars as a fictional air stewardess who discovers that her lover (Daniel Brühl) is being held at the camp and determines to rescue him. Michael Nyqvist is suitably monstrous as cult leader Paul Schäfer, an ex-Nazi and convicted child abuser, but sadly the film doesn't do justice to his real-life victims.
