A 68-minute neon fever dream where Santiago itself becomes the third corpse.
By a dissociated Santiago de Chile the old figure of Bareta transits in search of Carranza, who was once his partner and now his enemy. Bareta, a man who knows the invisible faces of the city, moves from place to place and from fantasy to fantasy tried to conclude all his affairs, while Carranza waits for him in his dark office, since both know that inevitably this will be the last day of both.
