1973. Uruguay is governed by a military dictatorship. One autumn night, three tupamaro prisoners are taken from their jail cells in a secret military operation. The order is precise: “as we can’t kill them, let’s drive them mad”. The three men will remain in solitary confinement for twelve years. Among them is pepe mujica – later to become president of Uruguay.
