You might ask yourself why it leaves you angry after you have seen this one? Angry at god! Angry at world that such places exist and humanity is the biggest devil that exists, not christian version of devil, not Satanic version of devil, but only us, humans are capable of unspeakable acts and evil. This is at the same time fascinating and scary! This movie is about a 12 year old boy Pablo in Chile, in the last days of Pinochet’s dictatorship, who is moved to Colonia Dignidad, so called German miracle in remote forest part of Chile. It is a colony led by German called Pius(excellent Hanns Zischler) who is in the beginning mild and benign but strange things begin to happen. People being punished in most bizarre and strange ways, insane orders and lifestyle, all in the name of god. Pablo realizes it is time to escape if he wants to stay alive and sane…

Now, this movie made me at many times scream in myself, stop it, do not do it, I will avenge these kids, you filthy insane German fuckers, stop it. From pedophilia, rape, killings in the name and with blessing of Chilean dictatorship, that all happened in real file in German mysterious religious colony Colonia Dignidad and it is not a work of fiction, although a part of this movie is fictionalized in some characters and some names. The greatest insanity about it all, when democracy came to Chile, those people changed the name of the colony and continued their work and insanity there until the death of Pius. This movie is one of those that make you think about how humanity is the real evil and what it can do. Go see this one. It will make you think.
