After the Chilean president outlaws communism in 1948, the poet Pablo Neruda (Luis Gnecco) and his artist wife Delia (Mercedes Morán) are forced into hiding. While the mundanity of life on the run holds little charm for the cultured pair, it proves to be a time of prolific output for the poet, as Neruda’s ideologically charged poems rouse the people and give voice to the voiceless.
