For many years they have, with great difficulty, been faithfully paying small sums to a real estate man.

Directed by Pablo de la Barra, Queridos compañeros (1977) is a Chilean-Venezuelan political drama that delves into the fervent revolutionary movements of the late 1960s. The film follows a group of young radical leftists that struggle to change the Chilean political status quo. The production of Queridos compañeros faced significant challenges, since filming started in 1973 but was abruptly halted due to the military coup in Chile that year. Director Pablo de la Barra managed to save the film's footage but lost the original audio tracks.
