Martelli's second film explores post-Pinochet Chile through missing-girl mystery lens

Chilean director Martelli's second feature premiered at Un Certain Regard, following a missing-girl mystery set in 1992 post-Pinochet Chile. The film uses a nine-year-old protagonist's perspective to explore the nation's inability to reckon with its dictatorship's legacy. While visually elegant, the political allegory proves less resonant than Martelli's acclaimed directorial debut.
