Two doctors, endless bodies, one brutal question: who gets to be remembered?
The film narrates the process in which two female forensic doctors, responsible for the Office of Identification of Legal Medical Institute of Santiago, fail to determine the identity of bodies that presumed are prisoners, detained and disappeared during the military dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet (1973- 1990).
