Villa Grimaldi personnel
“Not a single leaf moves in this country, without me knowing it” (A. Pinochet)
“Exterminated like rats” (La Segunda, regime-aligned newspaper)

Villa Grimaldi personnel are the civilians that follow the officials of the regime: handymen, fixers, secretaries, employees. They are the ears that hear everything, and the eyes that see everything. They are in a privileged, safe position, subordinate to the military. They are silent witnesses to the atrocities of the regime, if not active accomplices. They embraced the authoritarian regime, and are part of it, out of idealism or convenience, and thanks to their status and independence are free to roam, always on the edge, risking that their connections or choices turn them into opposers in the eyes of the regime.
The gameplay of the personnel will feature convenience and espionage, ambition, fear to be exposed, and the tragic acts they will witness or even participate to.
THEMES: opportunism, loyalty, betrayal, compassion.

Teaser:

E’ un uomo semplice Miguel, un uomo che crede alla fortuna e ai Santi. Accende un cero, fa uno scongiuro quando deve chiedere una grazia, e a volte la salvezza arriva con la fede e un colpo di fortuna. Chi abbia risposto, se la sorte o l’Altissimo, non importa. Come quel giorno, quando è stato preso a lavorare, un impiego sicuro, ben pagato, a Villa Grimaldi. Protetto dai militari, non deve far altro che lavorare, senza guardarsi attorno, senza ascoltare, e soprattutto senza parlare. Dio vede e provvede, e dove non arriva lui, ci penserà’ il caso, o il destino, a mettere tutto a posto, persino quei brutti risvegli nel cuore della notte, che spezzano i suoi sogni sereni.


A simple man who believes in Saints and good fortune, this is Miguel. He lights a candle, makes jinx, and ask for a grace that sometimes comes through faith and some luck. Whether it is destiny or the Almighty who answers, it doesn’t really matter. Like that day, when he was hired for a safe, well paid job in Villa Grimaldi. Protected by the army, he only has to do chores, blind, deaf and overall mute. God sees and provides, and where he’s not reaching, fate, chance or destiny will make everything alright, as with his nightmares, those that turn his nights into sleepless wake.

Relations:

Lieutenant Alba Pinera   is nice and they are now friends. Paul Schafer   looks diffident, and the thing is mutual. On the other hand working with Ingrid Felicitas Olderock   is a pleasure: her orders are precise and firm.
