00:00:07.424 --> 00:00:12.387
This series is based on real life stories
occurred in Chile during the civil-military dictatorship

00:00:12.387 --> 00:00:18.810
supported in the Rettig report, in judicial documents
and in the testimonies of relatives of Disappeared Detainees.

00:00:18.935 --> 00:00:21.813
Original story by Erika Hennings
Wife of Alfonso Chanfreau

00:00:22.605 --> 00:00:24.691
Our story was not only about love,

00:00:26.901 --> 00:00:28.403
It was a commitment story

00:00:28.737 --> 00:00:31.990
My name is Erika Hennings
partner of Alfonso Chanfreau,

00:00:31.990 --> 00:00:33.992
father of my daughter Natalia.

00:00:33.992 --> 00:00:38.288
Detained disappeared
on July 30, 1974

00:00:38.288 --> 00:00:39.998
Alfonso Chanfreau Oyarce

00:00:41.416 --> 00:00:42.709
Yes, it\'s me

00:01:05.690 --> 00:01:08.026
THE SUSPENDED MOURNING

00:01:10.820 --> 00:01:12.697
Torture center
Londres 38

00:01:12.989 --> 00:01:15.492
Alfonso feared that in case
of being arrested,

00:01:15.492 --> 00:01:17.494
They got me too.

00:01:18.787 --> 00:01:20.997
I told him we were both militants

00:01:20.997 --> 00:01:24.793
and that if they arrested me
was not going to be his fault

00:01:25.001 --> 00:01:26.294
but he was right,

00:01:26.795 --> 00:01:31.007
they used me as an instrument
of torture to break him out

00:01:32.509 --> 00:01:34.010
Our daughter stayed at home
with relatives

00:01:34.010 --> 00:01:39.015
and I was transferred to the same center
of tortures where Alfonso was.

00:01:48.024 --> 00:01:49.025
-Is that you?

00:01:49.025 --> 00:01:50.985
-Yes, love, where are you?

00:01:55.824 --> 00:01:57.617
What did they do to you?

00:01:57.826 --> 00:01:58.993
Nothing, nothing

00:01:58.993 --> 00:02:01.412
Remember that I have a soul
of Shakesperian

00:02:02.413 --> 00:02:04.624
so I\'m exaggerated by nature.

00:02:04.624 --> 00:02:06.626
We never stop being lovers

00:02:06.626 --> 00:02:08.795
but in that place we were
first of all companions

00:02:08.795 --> 00:02:12.715
because we did not accept that our
Natalia lived in a country like that.

00:02:14.717 --> 00:02:16.511
I tried not to show myself down,

00:02:16.511 --> 00:02:19.305
despite all the atrocities
I suffered.

00:02:21.391 --> 00:02:22.392
Alfonso

00:02:22.392 --> 00:02:24.394
I had to show myself complete for him.

00:02:27.021 --> 00:02:28.022
Alfonso?

00:02:29.399 --> 00:02:31.818
-They took him mate
-Where?

00:02:35.488 --> 00:02:38.825
Alfonso was permanently removed
of the detention center

00:02:38.825 --> 00:02:41.619
and I should wait for one
or two days for him to come back

00:02:41.995 --> 00:02:45.206
but every time he came back
He did it in worse conditions.

00:02:46.624 --> 00:02:49.919
Alfonso was not willing to give out
the information they required,

00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:53.506
so the DINA started to do
terrible things to me in front of him,

00:02:54.007 --> 00:02:56.009
things I wish i din\'t remember.

00:03:04.017 --> 00:03:07.604
But even so, they were not able
to break our conviction,

00:03:08.021 --> 00:03:10.398
our commitment, our love.

00:03:15.195 --> 00:03:17.989
He was so badly hurt that
he couldn\'t even eat,

00:03:18.990 --> 00:03:23.786
there I realized that probably we would
never leave together from that place.

00:03:24.996 --> 00:03:27.999
-You have to eat
-I can\'t

00:03:27.999 --> 00:03:30.418
-But you do
-I can not

00:03:33.004 --> 00:03:35.006
-Hold on
-My love

00:03:35.006 --> 00:03:40.595
Think of Natalia,
you have to get out of here

00:03:40.595 --> 00:03:43.806
You have to get out of here
and go back to her

00:03:47.810 --> 00:03:50.813
After 4 days since they took him away
for the last time,

00:03:50.813 --> 00:03:52.607
Alfonso never returned.

00:03:55.193 --> 00:03:57.987
And I, wasn\'t useful for them anymore.

00:03:58.988 --> 00:04:00.990
At the same time i was liberated,

00:04:00.990 --> 00:04:04.285
I realized that I had lost
my partner forever.

00:04:21.010 --> 00:04:22.595
Alfonso Chanfreau, 23 years old

00:04:22.595 --> 00:04:24.222
arrested and disappeared

00:04:24.222 --> 00:04:25.807
July 30, 1974

00:04:27.016 --> 00:04:30.019
In June 2005, the judge
Sophie Clément, signed 19 orders

00:04:30.019 --> 00:04:33.022
of international arrest against Pinochet
and another 18 military

00:04:33.022 --> 00:04:36.985
for the disappearance of five French en in Chile.
They were processed in France.

00:04:37.986 --> 00:04:41.990
Convicted by the case
Alfonso Chanfreau
