| Plot: | "Alsino, a boy of 10 or 12, lives with his grandmother in a remote area of Nicaragua. He's engulfed in the war between rebels and government troops when a US advisor orders the army to open a staging area by the boy's hamlet. Alsino tries to be a child, climbing trees with a girl, looking through his grandfather's trunk of mementos and trying to fly; he goes to town to sell a saddle, has his first drink and is taken to a brothel. But the war surrounds him. The US advisor takes Alsino on a chopper flight, but he's unimpressed. The soldiers' cruelties awake rebel sympathies in Alsino, and after an army assault backfires, the lad is fully baptized into the conflict"--IMDb plot summary.

| Plot: | Poco después del golpe militar en Chile, un cantante que simpatiza con la Junta llega a París a cantar sobre lo que él considera es la nueva realidad del país. Un grupo de exiliados chilenos se topa con él y deciden secuestrarlo en una manera bastante peculiar: llevándolo de farra. Diálogos de Exiliados es uno de los tantos filmes que Ruiz (Palomita Blanca) ha dirigido sobre historias de gente desarraigada o perdida, y bien puede llamársele uno de los pocos filmes de culto que haya producido un cineasta nacional.
El primer largometraje de Ruiz en tierras francesas es una suerte de ficción y documental a la vez. La película narra la historia de unos exiliados chilenos en París y sus andanzas tratando de conseguir techo, dinero y trabajo. Los actores, franceses y chilenos, trabajaron gratis por razones de solidaridad. La mayoría de los chilenos eran refugiados, colegas y amigos de Ruiz, por lo tanto estaban interpretando su propia situación.
Por su estilo corrosivo e irónico, la película fue muy mal recibida entre los chilenos exiliados en Europa. Incluso intentaron robarle los negativos para que no se exhibiera. Es que la imagen que se mostraba de los exiliados era muy peculiar: gente más bien floja, diálogos banales, etc. Naturalmente en 1974 no había mucho margen para aceptar una parodia de ese tipo entre la izquierda chilena. Ruiz se defendía diciendo que sus intenciones eran buenas: “yo estaba convencido que era una película militante, un llamado a la unidad, una especie de previsión de todos los errores que podrían cometerse y que tendríamos que evitar” (Mouesca, Jacqueline. Plano secuencia de la memoria de Chile: veinticinco años de cine chileno (1960-1985) Madrid: Eds. del Litoral, impresión de 1988, p. 122).
La película resultó un desastre en la taquilla y la crítica francesa apenas si la notó. Hoy, con la distancia del tiempo, Diálogo de Exiliados resulta ser una de las obras más chilenas de Ruiz, hilarante, osada y totalmente adelantada a su época.

| Plot: | In 1973, the Chilean military, under the direction of General Augusto Pinochet and backed by the CIA, overthrew the shaky socialist government of democratically elected President Salvador Allende. The coup led to the murder of 3,000 leftist Allende supporters and the detention of an estimated 250,000 political prisoners. Set against the background of the political instability that led to the crisis, Andrés Wood's Machuca is the moving story of the friendship between two boys from different sides of the social spectrum.

With so marginal means, the friends journey between self-destruction and crime in order to survive in this vicious circle that cannot be broken.

| Plot: | Julius Popper, a mid-19th century Rumanian explorer, travels to Patagonia in search of gold.
Finales de siglo XIX: un hombre exaltado se dirige a un grupo de personas hablando de la obsesión que le ha perseguido durante largo tiempo. Tras su alocución, un individuo se acerca a él y lo apuñala.
Años atrás empezó la aventura de Julius Popper, un ingeniero rumano que en 1860 tomó posesión de las costas de la Tierra del Fuego en nombre de la reina Carmen Sylba. Diferentes personajes se unen a Popper en su ambicioso empeño de extraer oro mediante un sistema de su invención: Armenia, una bella meretriz regenta de un burdel, atraída por la personalidad del recién llegado; Spiro, un aventurero italiano que, inspirándose en los versos de "La Divina Comedia", se ha construido un particular sentido del bien y del mal; Shaeffer, un alemán destinado a ejercer de hombre fiel para todo; Novak, un sargento austríaco nombrado jefe militar de un ejército fantasma al servicio de Popper; "Elisa", un joven y hermosa india cautiva, reina de una tribu autóctona; y Silveira, un aventurero gallego enfrentado al infortunio y la soledad sin otro consuelo que el sonido de su gaita.
Julius Popper choca con los intereses de los terratenientes y con los designios de una naturaleza cruel, luchando por dominar un territorio sin dios ni ley, y por controlar su pasión y la de los hombres que le acompañan en su odisea. Su historia es la de cientos de aventureros llegados de todos los confines del planeta y guiados por el único afán de riqueza.

Many years ago, Boliver and his young wife came to the village as part of an effort to colonize the area; the couple was welcomed by Nushino (Victor Bottenbley), leader of the native tribes, but after a fever took the life of his spouse and attacks by fortune seekers caused the natives to turn their backs on the white settlers, Bolivar has been virtually alone, with only one close friend in the village, an aging dentist named Rubicondo (Hugo Weaving). Bolivar passes his time by reading florid romance novels passed along to him by Josefina (Cathy Tyson), Rubicondo's mistress who works as an aide for the village's mayor, Luis Agalla (Timothy Spall). Agalla, not an especially scrupulous man, has been selling illegal hunting permits to visitors hunting big game, and one of his customers made the mistake of killing and skinning a pack of jaguar cubs; the mother of the cats found the hunter, and tore him to shreds. Now likely to attack any human she sees, the mother jaguar is roaming the jungle near the village and must be found before she can kill again, and Bolivar steps forward to help with the dangerous assignment of finding and capturing the vicious cat.
