Toggle Group description

International guests
“We want to help, not undermine you. You did a great service to the West in overthrowing Allende. Otherwise Chile would have followed Cuba” (Henry Kissinger, US Secretary of State).

Americans, Italians, undercover agents from other nations. The communist menace attracts many different people to Chile, ready to fight for their interests. They are official envoys from other countries, spies ready to snitch to their governments, and if necessary intervene in the Chilean national affairs. Accomplices or silent witnesses to Villa Grimaldi’s events, strong opponents or loyal supporters of the regime and of what happens in the detention center.
Politics, intrigue, the international guests’ gameplay is like a chess game, where Chile is the board, pawns can be sacrificed to save the king; and the global scenery, in the middle of Cold War, is more important than human rights. Not all world is blind, and voices about what is happening under the regime are spreading.
The gameplay of the international guests will be strong in politics and intrigue, with the dilemma of having to represent the interests of their own country, or their own, in front of the atrocities they will witness or will be guilty of.
THEMES: convenience, human rights, politics, ethics.

Teaser:


Even in his dreams Ortolani can't help but thinking about the huge amount of money he is holding on behalf ot the Holy See, hidden in discreet Swiss banks or in Catholic financial institutes lead by ass-kissing puppet-businessmen. Ortolani isn't that different from those gold bars: he is just a tool of God and the Church, an useful instrument in the battle against Communism. Maybe one day his name will make history and he will be remembered for his righteous ideals, while his true reward will be forgotten: money, that he will humbly offer to the Lord when Judgement will come.

Relations:


He must keep and eye on Stefano delle Chiaie  : in Italy he is often over the edge, and here it won't be different. Cardinal Silva Enriquez is a dirty communist preacher, that would deserve to make a journey over the sea, but he is too well known. He wonders why Silva has been included within the Vatican delegation. He gave hospitality to Michail Krasnoff   when he arrived in Italy before moving to Chile, they share the same opinion in many topics, first of all the anti-communism.
