Film Synopsis
In Bolivia on 3rd December 1982, the dissident Argentinean writer Juan Mendez is released from prison. A military escort is to ensure his safety during his train journey to the border. That same day, on the road to Villazon in the Bolivian mountains, a French geologist named Loïc Murat comes to the aid of a young woman named Julia who claims to be Mendez's daughter. Murat discovers that the writer's life is threatened by a group of military extremists known as the 'Longs Manteaux'. The best hope of saving Mendez from being assassinated is to travel to Argentina and get a telegraph through to the solders who are escorting him.
