'Spider' is a 2019 Chilean political thriller film directed by Andrs Wood. It was screened in the Contemporary World Cinema section at the 2019 Toronto International Film Festival. It was selected as the Chilean entry for the Best International Feature Film at the 92nd Academy Awards, but it was not nominated.

Plot



Ins (22), along with her husband Justo (28) and their best friend, Gerardo (23), are members of Fatherland and Liberty, a Chilean far-right paramilitary group of nationalist and neo-fascist ideology supported by the CIA, that performed multiple terrorist acts in the early 1970s in order to overthrow the leftist government of Popular Unity and Salvador Allende.

In the heat of this fight they are involved in a risky and passionate love triangle. Together they commit a political crime that changes the country's history and incidentally involves them in a great betrayal that separates them forever.

Forty years later, Gerardo reappears. Not only does revenge inspire him, but also his youth's obsession to revive the nationalist cause, now focused on street crime and Haitian immigration. The police surprise him with an arsenal of war in his house. Ins, today a powerful and influential businesswoman, will do what is in her hands so that Gerardo does not disclose her past or her husband's.
