action
Ana is on her way with her friends to a weekend house in the deepest Chilean province. When the friends take a shortcut, the first thing they find is a dead animal on the road. A short time later the car broke down. A taciturn man bailed out the five friends, but towards the end the situation almost escalated.
Shortly afterwards, the friends find a seriously injured woman on the side of the road. When they want to help her, they are kidnapped themselves and end up with a backwoods family, consisting of a strong mother figure and two brothers who like to have sex with each other. What this strange family intends to do with them remains unclear. In order to break Ana, she is forced to kill one of her friends.
A martyrdom begins for the other four, in which they keep trying to escape together and the plan is thwarted again and again. Apparently the family are traffickers who have captured the friends of a decadent-looking older man. Therefore, apart from a few injuries, hardly anything happens to them. The last attempt to escape, however, ends in a massacre in which all but Ana have to lose their lives. The trafficker is the last to be struck down.
Ana now flees to the country road, where she meets a woman who takes her with her. Still traumatized, she shoots the woman with a shotgun.
