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. [More]
