Niki and his friends are members of the marginalised underclass living on the outskirts of Santiago. During Chile's transition from dictatorship to democracy (1988-1990), they forge a path from drug- and drink-fuelled nihilism and petty crime into the world of market-driven illegality and Niki begins a seemingly predestined relationship with the middle-class "loca", Manuela. Memorable episodes and characters, quotable dialogue and a mix of earthy national portrait and surrealistic flourish make this one of the key Chilean films of the Nineties.

Sussi comes to the big city to find love and success.

Chile, 1983. Gladys is a brave young woman who lives in La Victoria, a marginal neighborhood of Santiago with her mother and daughter during the Pinochet dictatorship.

The extreme poverty produced by unbridled neoliberalism in Pinochet’s Chile is an allegory for the disappeared. Based on a play by Juan Radrigán.
