Synopsis
Santiago, Chile - September 1973.
Mario Cornejo (Alfredo Castro) works at a morgue, typing out reports
on autopsies performed by the coroners. Leading up to the military
coup where Salvador Allende dies, he gets involved in a love affair
with a dancer from the cabaret Bim Bam Bum.
Set in one of Chile's darkest and bloodiest periods, POST MORTEM
weaves together three cinematographic, aesthetic and ethical strands
- the testimonial, the historical and the fictional – seeking its
poetic rhythm in the confusion, absurdity and aftermath of a journey
with no purpose.
