One of Emma's best movies. Based on a true story, a pair of lovers, Lena is a flight attendant for Lufthansa and Daniel is a photographer who was imprisoned in the Colony of Dignity, a notorious place in former Germany, during the Pinochet coup in Chile. In Chile, the Nazis are preparing to make a comeback in an independent kingdom. Paul Fisher, who is in power, is a perverted paedophile. The farms are managed separately by boys and girls, and any sexual contact is strictly prohibited, resulting in 25 years without a baby being born. Another identity of the farm is to help the Chilean government torture political prisoners, manufacture weapons and gas bombs. In the past 40 years, only 5 people have successfully escaped, and the others have died. In order to save Daniel, Lena voluntarily entered the farm, endured 130 days of inhuman torture, and managed to escape with the foolish Daniel, but is there light outside the barbed wire? The German ambassador betrayed Daniel and Lena in the process of taking them to the airport. Lena contacted the captain through personal connections and boarded the plane in a thrilling manner. The captain forcibly took off when the flight was cancelled, and the two escaped. Since the German ambassador's collusion with Paul Fischer was a real event, the German president also organized diplomats to watch the film. Daniel's secret photo of the farm basement caused a sensation around the world, but it still could not change the fate of Chile. Until the fall of Pinochet, Fisher was brought to justice. He was sentenced to 33 years for sexually assaulting thousands of boys. Sentenced, died in prison in 2010. The first half of the movie is flat and straightforward, and the second half is thrilling and heart-wrenching, and it is worth recommending.
