剧情介绍
在智利的安第斯山脉脚下，有一个田园诗般的德国殖民地，叫做巴伐利亚村。然而，美丽的背后隐藏着残酷的过去。这部电影探讨了殖民地居民如何使用不同的策略来应对多年的虐待、宗教狂热和参与皮诺切特政权最恶劣的暴行所带来的创伤。他们应对伤害的方法使创伤成为一个扣人心弦，电影般的、永恒的记录，经常被比作哈内克的白丝带或使女的故事。这一切都与斑驳阳光下美丽的智利安第斯山脉形成了鲜明对比。
At the foot of the Andes Mountains in Chile lies an idyllic German colony. However, the beauty of the place contains a grim past. In 1961, the German preacher Paul Schaefer and his congregation moved to Chile with the stated aim of helping the poor. They established Colonia Dignidad (Colony of Dignity), which transformed into a closed sect. This film explores how the remaining residents of the colony deal with 45 years of child abuse, collective beatings and slave-like living conditions. It also reveals how people in the colony assisted Pinochet's dictatorship (1973 - 1990) in torturing and killing political prisoners and burying them in mass graves on their own 16,000 - hectare land.
对比沉默正义(El silencio de otros，2018)，西语背景中的“选择性遗忘”；资本主义社会对于专政或者殖民的看法果然是双标的，尽管法西斯分子或独裁者（皮诺切特）带来灰暗历史，终归同宗同源而不彻底的指控，如今集中营粉饰变成遥远南美大路的欧洲异域风情，只会更加的忘却、重塑、新建代表不同意义的历史
