Summary
Set in Argentina during the Dirty War of the mid-seventies, on the eve of the nation's descent into a military dictatorship, ROJO follows Claudio, a renowned middle-aged lawyer living a seemingly picture-perfect life in a deceptively quiet provincial city. One night, a stranger starts insulting Claudio in a restaurant for no apparent reason. The community supports him; the stranger is humiliated and removed. Later that night, the stranger--determined to wreak a terrible vengeance--intercepts Claudio and his wife Susana. Claudio then starts to move down a path of no return involving death, secrets, and silences--further complicated by the arrival of a Chilean private detective.
