Adela Secall

A young detective must take charge of a dark and dangerous counterfeiting money case.

Two marginal youths who are friends fail miserably on their first drug transaction. Risking their lives, they embark on an uncontrolled crime spree in order to repay the money within two days.

As two families celebrate the engagement of their children, one of the lovers unearths a family secret.

The elderly heir of a formerly wealthy and respected Chilean family, Andres, suffers from decadence and solitude. He hires young Estela in order to look after his tiranic and almost crazy grandmother. The differences in class and age don't stop Andres from courting Estela, whose fiancé Mario tries to make some money with the passions of his well-off rival. The suffocating atmosphere of the run-down mansion in the outskirts of Santiago represents the deterioration of the bourgeoisie, and sets the scene for the total collapse of Andres.

A ruthless thief has a change of heart after being mortally wounded and wants to carry the town's cross on the Way of the Cross in order to save his soul.
