El Año de la Furia plot
"In the midst of dark repression, laughter was their only weapon."
Uruguay (1972) inevitably falls into a terrible dictatorship. Diego and Leonardo, two writers on a well-known TV comedy show, struggle to maintain their integrity under the pressure to water down their political satires against the military. On the side of the oppressors, Rojas, the lieutenant charged with torturing subversive youth, finds emotional refuge in Susana, a prostitute. Slowly, the lives of all of them are strongly influenced by the yoke of the dictatorship that looms over them.
