Daniel is kidnapped by the secret police of Pinochet and Lena follows him to an area in the south of the country, called Colonia Dignidad, which is presented as a charitable mission by lay preacher Paul Schäfer, but which, in fact, Is a place where no one has ever escaped from there. Lena decides to join the cult in order to find Daniel.

"Colonia Dignidad" had to be filmed in various locations such as: an abandoned mine on the outskirts of Luxembourg as well as cities such as Berlin, Munich and Buenos Aires. Chile, for various reasons, could not be the place to shoot the film.
