Pablo, a 12-year-old boy, receives a scholarship to attend school in the mysterious and isolated Colonia Dignidad, established in Chile by German settlers. He quickly becomes the favorite of the leader of the colony, Uncle Paul. Over time, Pablo witnesses the strangest things that happen there: abuse, disappearances and demon-like creatures used to scare children. But in this wicked world, a revolution is brewing, and it may be the only way for Pablo to get out.

Amber Wilkinson Eye for Film In the absence of script and character development he relies on things like the heavy use of a blue filter and the increasing volume of Handel's Sarabande form Suite No4 in D Minor in a bid to shore up the mood. Rated: 3/5 Dec 10, 2021 Full Review Ricardo Gallegos La Estatuilla Valencia avoids sensationalism and focuses on subtlety to create atmospheric tension and immersion. The audiovisual language is extraordinary. [Full Review in Spanish] Nov 24, 2021 Full Review Rob Aldam Backseat Mafia There's a sense of inevitability to A Place Called Dignity. One which casts a shadow over each moment. Nov 23, 2021 Full Review Jonathan Holland Screen International Thought-provoking and unsettling, richly atmospheric but strangely lacking in drama, this is a worthy addition to the growing roster of Chilean films seeking to face up to the country's troubled past.
