A moving portrait of Chilean singer-songwriter and political activist Victor Jara (1932-73) that chronicles the life of the talented artist who was imprisoned, tortured and machine-gunned by the country's dictatorship.

Concert by Víctor Jara at Panamericana Televisión in Lima, Peru, on July 17, 1973. This is one of the last audiovisual records of Víctor Jara. Two months later he would be assassinated by the Chilean military dictatorship.

With confidential and unpublished documentation, the film shows the background and behind-the-scenes of the coup in Chile that took place on September 11, 1973 - and General Pinochet's dictatorship, which lasted 17 years.

In Chile, during the mid 80s, a wave of young enthusiasts from different parts of the country decided to rebel against the regime and liberate themselves through rock. It was a new Chile, committed to fight for its ideals, and to have fun at any cost.

The film narrates the problems faced by a small group from the small imaginary town of Tunco that arrives in Santiago to ask their representative in parliament for the construction of a road to improve communication alternatives for the inhabitants of the southern hamlet.

For years, the murder of Chilean protest singer Victor Jara was blamed on an official in Pinochet's army. Now in exile, he tries to exonerate himself.

Through the juxtaposition of images, the documentary proposes to show the juxtaposition present in Chilean society and how it is capable of lamenting the coup d'état and a week later celebrating the Glories of the Army and the “18th”.

After the 1973 Chilean military coup, Joan Jara reflects on the life and legacy of her husband, folk singer and activist Víctor Jara, who was tortured and killed by the regime.
