In 1979, near the Chilean capital, a secret mass grave was discovered in which gendarmes hid the bodies of 15 peasants.
From this incident, Allende sets out to paint a world of love and hope, confronting another world of violence and hatred.
In this magical atmosphere in which the boundaries between reality and imagination are lost, The Owner of the House of Spirits presents us with a wonderful literary work and a tragic historical testimony, narrating the facts of a political crime, and the story of an overwhelming passion between a brave, seductive reporter and a mysterious left-wing photographer.
