Added DiffLines:

* DroneOfDread: Most of the soundtrack is a series of ominous drones or high-pitched whines. There is a high-pitched drone of dread in the opening scene where the camera zooms in on the bullet hole in Olderöck's temple.

* TrashTheSet: Olderöck goes back to the house and is refused admittance, instead being given an envelope--she's been reassigned to a desk job. She goes home and in a fit of rage wrecks her home, sweeping pictures off of shelves and smashing things and in the end breaking the entire house (which after all is only a small box in which the figurine was filmed) in half, leaving her floating against a black void.

* {{Biopic}}: The life of Ingrid Olderöck, distilled to 16 minutes, and no doubt with some ArtisticLicenseHistory (unless she really was in the habit of having sex with her dog). She really was a torturer, and she really did survive a gunshot wound to the head not long after the torture program was ended.

The animation is stop-motion, with the human figurines made to resemble porcelain dolls. The film is a true story about Ingrid Olderöck, an agent of the Chilean secret police (the Dirección de Inteligencia Nacional) in the 1970s, under the dictatorship of UsefulNotes/AugustoPinochet. The film opens with Olderöck on a plane--with a bullet hole in her head. The film cuts back to Olderöck at some point in the past, playing fetch with her dog, but with the animation framed and shot in a way that suggests something very ominous.

Added DiffLines:

In other words the AnimationAgeGhetto is averted.


Added DiffLines:

* DreamSequence: A seemingly innocent dream of Olderöck playing fetch with her dog ends with Olderöck whipping out a machete and lopping the dog's head clean off. Her propensity for rage and violence is established.
* TheFaceless: While most of the porcelain faces shown in the cartoon are detailed, near the end a man is shown across the street from Olderöck's house, staring at her. The man's face has no features drawn on it, but rather only impressions of features, like a mask. At the end Olderöck looks out the window of the plane and sees many such faceless people. They are obviously symbolic of her victims.


Added DiffLines:

* StateSec: The DINA, Pinochet's secret police. Olderöck works for them as a brutal torturer.
