El Conde is a dark comedy/horror that imagines a parallel universe inspired by the recent history of Chile. The film portrays Augusto Pinochet, a symbol of world fascism, as a vampire who lives hidden in a ruined mansion in the cold southern tip of the continent. Feeding his appetite for evil to sustain his existence. After two hundred and fifty years of life, Pinochet has decided to stop drinking blood and abandon the privilege of eternal life. He can no longer bear that the world remembers him as a thief. Despite the disappointing and opportunistic nature of his family, he finds new inspiration to continue living a life of vital and counterrevolutionary passion through an unexpected relationship.
El Conde was directed by Pablo Larraín and stars Jaime Vadell, Amparo Noguera, Gloria Münchmeyer, Alfredo Arturo Castro Gómez, Paula Luchsinger Escobar, Diego Muñoz, Marcial Tagle, Antonia Zegers, and Catalina Guerra Munchmeyer.
