A group of left-wing intellectuals take over a building with the purpose of forming a Ministry of Culture, however, the workers oppose the takeover. Intellectuals and workers establish a coexistence pact while waiting for Godoy, a union boss. After conflicts over ideological differences about culture, the takeover dissolves, just when Godoy appears with a totally elitist and apolitical discourse.

A young working class girl falls in love with an upper class boy who is part of the plot to assassinate General Schneider, head of the Chilean Army. The film was shot in 1973 over six weeks with a budget of $170,000. As a result of the 1973 Chilean coup d'état and military dictatorship (1973–1990), the film was presumed lost for many years and not released until 1992.

In 1986, a video was presented to the video art festival of the Chilean French Institute and was censored. Then Maturana devised a thriller in which they searched for the lost video artist named Astica, who had come from Thimor de la Lemuria to show Video Vida, which was opposed to video art. To do this, his friends hired the private investigator Mister Off who solved the case.
