In the 70's, in the military dictatorship in Uruguay, the boy Pablo witness the death of his father by General Díz (Walter Reyno). After the amnesty, Pablo (Gael García Bernal) challenges General Díz for a duel, using an ancient law forgotten by the authorities, with tragic consequences.
"El Ojo en la Nuca" shows the effect of the military dictatorship in South America in a man that lost his father when he was a boy. The unfair amnesty that released torturers and criminals of this period and the price for the principle "an eye for an eye" is sadly shown in this reasonable short. My vote is six.
Title (Brazil): "O Olho na Nuca" ("The Eye in the Nape")
