No

No, the last film in Larraín’s trilogy on Chile under Pinochet, depicts the events in 1988 in which a national advertising campaign contributed to his fall. Due to international pressure, Pinochet agrees to hold a referendum after eight years in office. During the course of twenty-seven days, he also allows just 15 minutes of national television screentime for the presentation of opposing arguments on the dictatorship. Rene Saavedra, played by Gael García Bernal, is the advertising executive representing the Nos. He approaches this endeavor with pragmatism, and sells the idea of a Chile free of Pinochet the same way as he would sell a soft drink – with jingles, slogans and colorful tableaux. swa
