Santiago, Chile, September 11th, 1973. Allende is overthrown. The film is based on the true life of Swedish ambassador Harald Edelstam (Michael Nyqvist) and his struggle to help Chilean refugees. During the panic after the State Coup, Edelstam fought for human rights, justice, and dignity. What drove him? What price did he had to pay for his total commitment? Haunted by his past, we follow the search of a man’s desperate account to find true love again. Saving thousands of people persecuted by the new regime, Edelstam finds himself and his true love, Consuelo (Kate del Castillo). (official distributor synopsis)
