Santiago de Chile 1973. Under President Salvador Allende, the first democratically elected socialist head of government in Latin America, there is a sense of optimism in the country. But Chris (John Malkovich) and his partner Lee (Sam Rockwell) already know that a military coup is imminent as they wait for their plane in the airport. The long-time colleagues are killers on behalf of the CIA. They spied on Allende's supporters, leftists and democrats in Chile and prepared the logistics for the right-wing coup. Their mission is over, they are withdrawn from the country and sent to remote Easter Island.
In the airport waiting area, the warriors try to win the attention of the young Chilean students Monica (Mariana di Girolamo) and Alicia (Ailín Salas). “Your country is really being fucked!” 72-year-old Chris tells them clairvoyantly, which goes down badly with both of them. Lee quickly puts it even more politely: "Your country is going to do really well!" he calls out to them as he hastily directs Chris to the gate.
They soon meet again, in front of the unique stone statues on the island where the two left-wing students are vacationing. The two Americans, typical representatives of the imperial world order, consistently refer to the shrine as “great minds,” which causes further irritation among the vacationing students.
