The Plague

During Argentina’s military dictatorship in 1981, Gustavo, a blind man, struggles to rebuild his bond with his son Salvador, a distant and deeply disturbed teenager with a dark fascination for torturing rodents. When Rosa, Gustavo’s caretaker, vanishes without a trace, the house descends into an atmosphere of tension and isolation. The true horror unfolds when an accident triggers the wrath of the rats, devouring Salvador’s eyes. Now, bound by shared blindness, father and son face their fate in an intimacy that had long been denied to them.
