El Efecto Ladrillo (2022): reparto, argumento y streaming

Released in 2022, El Efecto Ladrillo is a notable film.

What it’s about. In 2019, millions of Chileans rose up in a popular revolt that resulted in radical change: the call for an assembly that will change the constitution imposed by the Pinochet dictatorship and its economic neoliberal model, referred to as ‘The Brick’. This change is seen through the eyes of two Chileans from opposing sides of the political spectrum. They experience a year of turmoil as protests give way to transformation. On the one side Ramiro, a wealthy businessman, and on the other side Mariana, a lower middle-class teacher. Historical conflicts that were long thought resolved come to light as the assembly process draws closer, showing how the wounds of a brutal dictatorship are deep, lasting and must be reconciled at all costs.

Who’s in it. El Efecto Ladrillo stars Tonka Tomicic as Self - Vamos Chilenos (archive footage).
