Santiago. September, 1973. Mario Cornejo works at a morgue, typing out reports on autopsies performed by the coroners. Leading up to the military coup where Salvador Allende dies, he gets involved in a love affair with a dancer from the cabaret Bim Bam Bum.
Set in one of Chile’s darkest and bloodiest periods, POST MORTEM weaves together three cinematographic, aesthetic and ethical strands – the testimonial, the historical and the fictional – seeking its poetic rhythm in the confusion, absurdity and aftermath of a journey with no purpose.
