English title: The Color of Destiny.
Synopsis: A teenage boy whose parents fled Chile for Brazil after the 1973 coup goes through a troubled period in which memories of his killed brother emerge; to make matters worse, his girlfriend is having an affair with one of her teachers.
Appraisal: Competently done, well acted and well scored drama that nevertheless fails to fully engage due to a less than resonating storyline. There are interesting parallels between the personal and political aspects -- two nationalities/two girlfriends, despotic regime/despotic father -- but these parallels are not explored and it is up to the viewer to elaborate on them.
