In 2020, Chilean writer Alia Trabucco published “Las Homicidas”, a non-fictional book in which she delved into the history of lurid crime in her country to dig up four criminal cases involving women that baffled Chilean public opinion. According to the author, this was because they found it impossible to accept that women could be active criminal subjects, since this went against their archetypal image of being sweet, selfsacrificing and caring. So, the account of these murders sought to overshadow the determination of these women when it came to killing, whitewashing their acts as the product of hysteria, alienation or madness. The transgressive element of linking empowerment to the act of murder was what attracted director Maite Alberdi’s to make the film In her place out of one of these cases: the one about the writer María Carolina Geel who, in 1955, murdered her lover, Roberto Pumerino, in the tea room at the Hotel Crillón: “The entire judicial process was aimed at trying to understand María Carolina’s motivation. But she never talked about this, she wanted to be judged for her actions, not to explain them. It is striking that it was others who ventured to speculate on what was behind the crime,” the director explained at the press conference after the screening of her film.
