Para Guida, guardia de seguridad en urbanizaciones de lujo, Ajo, la Enana e Isamel son rápidos, sigilosos, avispados, los mejores entrando y saliendo de las casas sin dejar rastro ―como si fueran invisibles―. El vigilante ya les ha encargado algunos trabajitos menores, pero quizás haya llegado el momento de ofrecerles algo de mayor envergadura, un golpe más lucrativo que sus muchachos no puedan rechazar. La promesa de un dinero aparentemente fácil obliga a los chicos a aceptar la misión. Sin embargo, nadie les advierte de la posibilidad de que todo se tuerza.
Now a major motion picture, this is a story of obsession, loyalty, and control
as one man with dark intentions charms his way into the lives of an innocent,
unsuspecting family, based on the true exile of Nazi doctor Josef Mengele to
South America Patagonia, 1960. Jose is on the run. Having fled from his
homeland of Germany, he has come to South America to continue his work as a
doctor seeking to manipulate genes to create the perfect human race. In the
small village of Chacharramendi he meets Lilith, a child he first notices from
the balcony of his motel who instantly fascinates yet repulses him. Lilith has
a growth defect, and the disproportionate size of her features represents all
that Jose is trying to exterminate from humankind. Yet, even more intriguing
is the fact that her siblings are perfect examples of the Aryan race: tall,
strongly built, and fair. The anomaly of Lilith's existence enthralls Jose,
and when he discovers Lilith's mother is pregnant, the temptation to involve
himself in their lives and even interfere with the pregnancy is too much for
him to pass up. A cold, calculating, but eerily charming man, Jose befriends
Lilith and manipulates his way into the family. And so begins a dark
relationship between the doctor and the little girl, a kind of love that
cannot end well. For Jose is actually Nazi doctor Josef Mengele, infamous for
performing human experiments at Auschwitz, and sooner or later his past is
going to catch up with him
