A Twelve-Year Night (Spanish: La noche de 12 años) is a 2018 drama film directed by Álvaro Brechner.
The film follows the twelve-year incarceration of members of the Tupamaros, a far-left urban guerrilla group active in the 1960s and 1970s, nine of whom were held as "hostages" between 1972 and 1985.
In 1973 Uruguay, the country is ruled by a civic-military dictatorship, and the National Army is embroiled in guerilla warfare with the leftist Tupamaros group.
Three Tupamaros members, José "Pepe" Mujica, Mauricio Rosencof and Eleuterio Fernández Huidobro, are held as hostages in a government-run prison.
After items delivered by his mother are misappropriated, Pepe causes a commotion at a military event held near his cell, and is ordered to see a psychiatrist.
Alzamora reveals that he is now married and expresses gratitude to Rosencof, allowing the three men a greater degree of freedom under his custody.
