This new film is inspired by research (press, judicial archives, interviews…) carried out over a year on the Spiniak affair: a paedophile ring that has been brought to light and made more headlines than any other case in the judicial, political and media history of Chile over the last 15 years. A topical film in a context where the Catholic Church is confronted with its own responsibility in the face of numerous scandals.
