Anyway, Daniel gets taken to this community and he's at first tortured to, I think, give up people who supported Allende. Paul exercised his power over everyone in order to do as he wanted, regardless of whether or not it actually falls in line with the stuff he preaches as a 'man of god'. And cult-like isn't even appropriate, because these people at Colonia Dignidad were a cult, through and through, no doubt about it. I mean it was related, as Daniel was sent to the Colonia Dignidad, literally meaning Colony of Dignity, as a result of the military coup, but the film deals more with the cult-like community of Colonia and its charismatic leader, Paul Schafer. I know a boyfriend was involved, but I felt it was more related to Pinochet's military leadership than it was. This movie is definitely not what I would have expected, I mean I didn't really read the description on Netflix, but I assumed it was more like dealing with Pinochet's dictatorship.
