Winter Howl

A senior couple lives isolated in Patagonia. They are the survivors of Colonia Dignidad, a German “School” settled during the Chilean Dictatorship. Their only purpose is to live in the present while battling the fear of being forgotten. Meanwhile, a woman facing an imminent loss of memory, tries to deliver a secret, asking for forgiveness for the guilt she has carried her whole life.

Directed by Matías Rojas Valencia, Winter Howl leans on a strong ensemble — Clara Larrain, Patricia Cuyul, Paulina García — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2024.
