Synopsis

Pablo Larraín, who participated in the Horizontes Latinos section with his earlier films, Tony Manero (2008) and Post Mortem (2010), won the Directors' Fortnight Award at Cannes with this film. International pressure forced the Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet to call a referendum in an effort to maintain his presidency in 1988. The leaders of the opposition convince René Saavedra, a gutsy young advertising executive, to head the campaign to vote NO. Despite their limited resources and the iron-fisted control of the despot's police force, Saavedra and his team carry out an audacious plan to win the referendum.
