Rául Peralta (50), a dancer and murderer from the slums, is obsessed with Tony Manero, the character from Saturday Night Fever, and tries to resemble him as much as he can. “El Sombra” crosses paths with Juana (17), a mythomaniac from a privileged background who is still a virgin, and whose personality is introverted, strange and disturbing.
Juana and “El Sombra” will thus set off on a story of love, dance and death that will show us Chile in the midst of Pinochet’s military dictatorship; a country convulsed by violence, oppression and blood in the year 1978.
