Of Love and Shadows is a poignant and dramatic film set against the backdrop of the oppressive Pinochet regime in Chile during the 1980s. Irene, a talented magazine editor, leads a seemingly comfortable life but is unaware of the extent of the human rights abuses occurring in her country.

One day, Francisco, a charismatic and passionate photographer, approaches Irene seeking employment at her magazine. Although initially hesitant, Irene is captivated by Francisco's intensity and decides to take a chance on hiring him. Little does she know that Francisco is a fervent sympathizer of the underground resistance movement fighting against the dictatorship.

As Francisco becomes an integral member of the magazine team, he gradually opens Irene's eyes to the brutal realities of life under the Pinochet regime. Through his powerful photographs and firsthand accounts, Irene is exposed to the atrocities committed by the state, such as forced disappearances, torture, and political persecution.

Inspired and deeply affected by what she learns, Irene becomes determined to use her platform as an editor to expose and denounce these human rights violations. She convinces Francisco to collaborate with her on a risky investigative project, aiming to document and shed light on the darkest corners of Pinochet's dictatorship.

Their joint efforts take them on a dangerous journey, as they secretly gather evidence, interview victims and survivors, and uncover the truth hidden beneath layers of government propaganda. Irene experiences personal growth and transformation as she confronts her own fears and learns the importance of fighting for justice and freedom.

However, their activities do not go unnoticed by the authorities, and Irene and Francisco find themselves increasingly targeted by the regime. Facing constant surveillance, threats, and the risk of imprisonment or worse, the couple must make difficult choices to protect themselves and those they care about.

Of Love and Shadows explores the power of love, courage, and resilience in the face of oppression. It depicts the struggle of two individuals whose lives are forever changed by their awakening to the harsh realities of their society, and their determination to use their skills and voices to fight for a better future.
