It’s
1948 and the Cold War has reached Chile. In congress, Senator Pablo Neruda
accuses the government of betraying the Communist Party and is swiftly
impeached by President Gonzalez Videla. Police Prefect Oscar Peluchonneau is
assigned to arrest the poet. Neruda tries to flee the country with his wife,
the painter Delia del Carril, but they are forced into hiding. Inspired by the
dramatic events of his new life as a fugitive, Neruda writes his epic
collection of poems, “Canto General.”
