Summaries

Storyline

Santiago, Chile. In a dimly lit nightclub, Orlando, the well-off owner of a textile company, locks eyes with hopeful singer Marina, the roughly half-his-age future love of his life. But no one knows what tomorrow has in store for us; after an unforgettable night of passion, Orlando falls gravely ill and dies in the hospital. Now Marina must face the harsh reality; from now on, everything is under intense scrutiny, including Marina's involvement in Orlando's death, their unconventional relationship, and her right to mourn the beloved deceased. But what was Marina's crime? — Nick Riganas Marina and Orlando are in love and planning for the future. Marina is a young waitress and aspiring singer. Orlando is 20 years older than her, and owns a printing company. After celebrating Marina's birthday one evening, Orlando falls seriously ill. Marina rushes him to the emergency room, but he passes away just after arriving at the hospital. Instead of being able to mourn her lover, suddenly Marina is treated with suspicion. Marina's life is thrown into turmoil following the death of her partner. Mourning the loss of the man she loved, she finds herself under intense scrutiny from those with no regard for her privacy. The film won the 2018 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, and its Oscar win became used as a point of discussion for Chilean LBGTQ activists in passing a gender identity bill, which then led to the country approving laws for transgender citizens to change their official details in 2018.
