Chronicle of an Escape (2006)

In the tumultuous year of 1977, Claudio Tamburrini, the skilled goalkeeper of the Almagro soccer team, finds his life horrifically upended when he is unlawfully abducted from the comfort of his home by the government's iron fist. Stripped of his dignity and thrust into the chilling confines of Sere Mansion, a clandestine detention center veiled in shadows, he is plunged into an unimaginable nightmare. A false accusation of revolution by his tortured acquaintance, Tano, serves as his one-way ticket into this hellish labyrinth. Within its cold, merciless walls, Claudio is shackled, kept in the raw vulnerability of nudity, and subjected to a relentless barrage of humiliations and tortures that test the limits of his spirit. His only solace comes in the form of shared suffering with fellow prisoners El Gallego, El Vasco, and Guillermo Fernández. Their bonds, forged in the crucible of torment, become their beacon of hope in the darkness. As the months crawl by in agonizing slow motion, the quartet of tormented souls hatch a daring plan to escape their cruel captors and the haunting specter of the mansion. Chronicle of an Escape is a riveting tale of resilience and defiance, a testament to the indomitable human spirit's struggle for freedom against the odds, fought on the battleground of a little-known soccer player's life turned upside down by the oppressive Argentinean regime. The flame of hope burns bright, painting their path to liberation in this harrowing, yet inspiring story of survival and escape.
