Post Mortem is a 2010 Chilean drama film directed by Pablo Larraín and set during the 1973 military coup that overthrew former President Salvador Allende, inaugurating the 17-year dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet.

During the military coup, Mario had a love affair with a show dancer named Nancy (Antonia Zegers), who lives across the street with her younger brother David and her father, a communist and Allende supporter.

On the morning of September 11, the date of the coup, a military raid takes place in Nancy's house and her brother and father are arrested.

Mario embarks on a frantic search for Nancy, who has disappeared, while also facing pressure from the military to hide the true causes of death of the bodies piling up in the morgue.
