A military dictator in a fictional country, modeled on early-1970s Chile, has risen from butcher to junta leader but now, isolated and distrustful, confides only in his guard Manuel. Manuel, who once shared the dictator’s humble origins, betrays him without hesitation when a popular uprising topples the regime and personally kills him.
