Actors Sebastian Stan (The Apprentice) and Ana de Armas (Blonde) have signed on to star in the feature film Impunity, an espionage thriller from award-winning Chilean filmmaker Felipe Gálvez (The Settlers).
Shot between Chile, the U.K., and Spain (in English and in Spanish), the film is set against the backdrop of one of the legal cases of the 20th century when Augusto Pinochet was arrested in London in 1998. For the first time, a former dictator could lose his immunity and face justice beyond his own country.
As two covert operations unfold behind closed doors, a mercenary recruited by an NGO and a Chilean envoy are drawn into a labyrinth of conspiracies, betrayals, and geopolitical maneuvering, only to discover, at their own expense, that the real battle for justice is fought far from the courtroom, in the shadows. The cast is completed by Alfredo Castro (The Club), Antonia Zegers (Too Late to Die Young) and Alejandro Goic.
Gálvez said of the project, “I grew up listening to unfinished stories, conversations interrupted by fear. With ‘Impunity’ I want to explore the pages erased from our history. Using the language of the spy genre, not to celebrate conspiracies, but to reveal how justice itself can be negotiated, delayed, and turned into spectacle.”
Impunity is based on 38 Londres Street by Philippe Sands, a renowned lawyer and bestselling author, and explores one of the biggest international criminal cases since the Nuremberg Trials.
