On the eve of the 1973 Chilean coup d’état, two CIA agents are sent to Easter Island. Longtime partners, and friends over the years, they suddenly see their relationship put to the test. Starting from this almost detective-story premise, McDonagh builds a funny, melancholic, and deeply human fable about friendship, aging, regrets, and loyalty.
