Family Coup

Family Coup, or "Golpe a golpe," serves as a unique exploration of Chile's past through a comedic lens. The film features the family of dictator Augusto Pinochet, who must coexist with the puppet spirit of former president Salvador Allende. This setup highlights the absurdity of the era while addressing themes of dictatorship and political conflict.

The film is characterized by its use of puppetry to represent significant historical figures, creating a distinct narrative style. By salvaging fragments from the original television show, Family Coup aims to preserve a piece of cultural history that reflects the complexities of a military dictatorship in Chile. The blend of humor and historical context offers a unique perspective for viewers interested in the interplay between politics and entertainment.
