The Unspeakable (2012) poster

In November 1974, the Principal of a small school in Santiago was kidnapped and taken to a detention centre by State agents, who accused her of belonging to the Revolutionary Left Movement (MIR). Her account, more than a memory of her stay in a clandestine centre, is focused on the impossibility of narrating an experience like this. The torture experience is inaccessible. There are no images or words which can represent it.
