An epic
drama set in the 1880’s, Sub-Terra tells the story of a man inside the largest
coal mine in the world, experiencing conflictive impulses in his heart. While
the aristocratic family of Cousino Goyeneche is dreaming of progress, the coal
miners are claiming their dignity in a time when human and social changes were
starting to surface with force.
Based on the
short stories of Chilean writer Baldomero Lillo, Sub-Terra is the Chilean film
industry’s first super production. It took 3 years to complete and was
beautifully shot entirely on location in the coal area of Lota. Cameras had to
be taken 500 meters below sea level into the coal mine of “El Chiflón del
diablo”, where the coal miners worked. As director Marcelo Ferrari said: “while
the film is entertaining, it also make one reflect on a piece of the history of
our country.” Actors Francisco Reyes and the Chilean-Spanish actress Paulina
Gálvez produce an intense romance “antagonistic in economic terms” as the actor
ironically put it to the press. Less than two weeks after it hit the box office
it had been seen by more than 100.000 people in Chile.
