- Synopsis
- Based on Albert Camus' brilliant novel "La Peste," set in Oran, Algeria in 1947, Puenzo's 1992 filmic version sets the story in an unnamed South American city (most likely Buenos Aires), with certain allegorical overtones to the 20th century's "plague" of military dictatorships and superficially that of AIDS. The story focuses primarily on the fate of three men left in a city quarantined and sealed off when a fatally contagious disease runs rampant.
In the South American city of Oran in the nineties, Dr Bernard Rieux diagnoses several cases of plague. The authorities use this as a pretext to close the city off and declare martial law. Rieux is angered as the authorities then start to round up and quarantine the infected in a stadium. Martine Rambert, a French tv correspondent he befriends, attempts to escape the city but is imprisoned by a black market smuggler.-
