The events surrounding the military coup which toppled the leftists Chilean government of Salvador Allende are chronicled in this Soviet docudrama. Nochi Nad Chili doesn't go deeply into the names or motives of the hidden forces which might have sponsored the coup (the CIA and IT&T had been named as perpetrators). Instead, this film confines its efforts to the main events themselves and is based on interviews with eyewitnesses, including many who resisted the takeover. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

In this provocative Soviet drama, an aged couple are left homeless after their farm burns down, and they head off to live with their impoverished daughter. When they arrive, they are appalled to learn that she has abandoned her child and husband to run away with a married man. The husband is now an alcoholic, so the grandparents stay on to support their son-in-law in his time of need and to help care for their grandson. Later, the errant daughter is dumped by her lover and returns. Many fights ensue until the grandfather banishes his troublesome daughter from their lives. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi
