12-year-old Pablo receives a scholarship to attend school in the mysterious and isolated “Colonia Dignidad”, established in Chile by German settlers. He quickly becomes the favorite of the colony’s leader, Uncle Paul. Over time, Pablo witnesses the disturbing things that happen there: abuse, disappearances and demon-like creatures used to scare children. But in this wicked world, a revolution is brewing, and it may be the only way for Pablo to escape.
