A public services employee receive the news that he will be lowered in rank and salary. So he decides to rebel, for at least the weekend...

A key document of the dictatorship years, and a pinnacle moment in Chilean cinema. Filmed covertly during the dictatorship, No Olvidar chronicles a terrible episode in Chile’s history: the kidnapping and murder of five men whose bodies were only found after five years of searching.

Filmed during hard and decisive years of the democratic struggle against the regime of Augusto Pinochet, it is the first film in which a group of Chilean filmmakers, without anonymity try to give a global account of the Chilean situation of those days. The film reflects the vision and personal testimony of its director about his country at that moment.

This award-winning film presents a dramatic slice of the daily life of a young Chilean couple of popular origins, who, harassed by unemployment, lack of communication and poverty, struggle to give meaning to their lives, stay united as a family and get ahead in shattered and threatening worlds.
