Bestia	comment	Bestia (Beast) is a 2021 animated short film (16 minutes) from Chile, directed by Hugo Covarrubias.The animation is stop-motion, with the human figurines made to resemble porcelain dolls. The film is a true story about Ingrid Olderöck, an agent of the Chilean secret police (the Dirección de Inteligencia Nacional, or DINA) in the 1970s, under the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet. The film opens with Olderöck on a plane—with a bullet hole in her head. The film cuts back to Olderöck at some point in the past, playing fetch with her dog, but with the animation framed and shot in a way that suggests something very ominous.Ingrid lives alone, with her dog. She sometimes visits a house, where she, and the dog, go into the basement. Eventually it's revealed that the basement is a torture chamber, and unspeakable crimes are happening there.In other words the Animation Age Ghetto is averted.

Bestia / int_4ff6f484	comment	Trash the Set: Olderöck goes back to the house and is refused admittance, instead being given an envelope—she's been reassigned to a desk job. She goes home and wrecks her house in a fit of rage, sweeping pictures off of shelves and smashing things before eventually breaking the entire house in half, leaving her floating against a black void.

Bestia / int_7abba202	comment	The Faceless: While most of the porcelain faces shown in the cartoon are detailed, near the end a man is shown across the street from Olderöck's house, staring at her. The man's face has no features drawn on it, but rather only impressions of features, like a mask. At the end Olderöck looks out the window of the plane and sees many such faceless people. They are obviously symbolic of her victims.

She really was a torturer, and she really did survive a gunshot wound to the head not long after the torture program was ended.
