- DirectorAlvaro de la BarraStarsPablo de la BarraI was born in secrecy in Chile, one month before the military coup led by Augusto Pinochet in 1973. My parents, militants of the MIR party, were shot dead in a military ambush just outside my kindergarten when they were coming to get me. I remained underground and soon after went into exile. I grew up under a different name and only had two pictures of my parents. I have always kept those pictures with me, wherever I went, whatever my name was, and whatever the nationality my passport indicated. The Chilean justice system recognized me as the son of my parents, now I want to know what those names actually mean. Back in Chile, once again a country with a consolidated democracy, but I remain a person with two different identities.
