What is it about The Place of the Other, the film that is the most viewed on Netflix in Chile
The Place of the Other It is inspired by the book The Murderers by Alia Trabucco, and is set in the 1950s in Chile. This film tells the story of María Carolina Geel (Francisca Lewin), a writer who shocked society by murdering her lover in cold blood in the missing Hotel Crillón.
“When María Carolina Geel murders her lover, the case captivates Mercedes (Elisa Zulueta)the shy clerk of the judge in charge of the case. After visiting the writer’s apartment, Mercedes begins to question her life, identity and the role of women in society when she finds in that home an oasis of freedom,” the synopsis advances.
“In Chile in the 20th century, the majority of women convicted of murder were pardoned by justice simply because they were women; convicting them would give them visibility. The pardons always alluded to the madness of the murderers, but no one really listened to their reasons,” says Alberdi about the story after his first feature film.
This film, which is already sweeping Netflix, is in the drama category and has a duration of 1 hour 35 minutes.
