Plot

edit
]
Carmen, a 50-year-old housewife from a middle-class family, enjoys a comfortable life in
Santiago
with her successful and respected doctor husband Miguel and their adult children. In the winter of 1976, three years after
Augusto Pinochet
seized power in Chile through a
coup
and established a
military dictatorship
, Carmen travels to her summer house to oversee renovation work and take some time for herself. While there, Father Sanchez, the priest of the small coastal town, asks for her help in caring for Elias, a young man who is part of the resistance against the dictator, has been wounded by a bullet, and has taken refuge with him. Because Carmen has medical knowledge and had once aspired to study medicine herself, and has also been involved in charitable projects in the church, she agrees to assist.

1976
was directed by Chilean filmmaker Manuela Martelli, who co-wrote the screenplay with Alejandra Moffat. Martelli had previously worked on the Chilean horror stop-motion animated film
La casa lobo
. With
1976

[9]
[12]
The film is set in 1976, the year when Martelli's maternal grandmother passed away, and she wanted to explore the experiences that told the story of a different reality through family videos shot with a
Super-8 camera
.
[13]
The lead role of the housewife Carmen is played by Aline Kuppenheim, a Chilean theater, film, and television actress of French descent, considered one of the greatest performers in her home country. Kuppenheim gained international recognition for her role in
Sebastian Lelio
's
A Fantastic Woman
. The film also stars Nicolas Sepulveda, who plays the wounded man named Elias,
[8]
[14]
and Hugo Medina, who plays Padre Sanchez.
Filming took place in the summer of 2021, partly in Las Cruces, a holiday resort in the Chilean coastal town/municipality of
