IN A TOWN RULED BY FEAR, TRUTH IS THE DEADLIEST WEAPON.

In a remote Chilean mining town in 1982, fear takes hold as a mysterious illness begins to spread—one blamed on the queer community who live and perform on the town's margins. Caught between myth and prejudice, eleven-year-old Lidia embarks on a quiet but courageous search for the truth, discovering love, resilience, and the cost of looking beyond the stories people cling to.

Director Diego Céspedes' feature debut won the Un Certain Regard Prize at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival and has been selected as Chile's submission for the Best International Feature Film for the upcoming Academy Awards.
