Plot
''My Best Enemy'' tells the story of a 5-man
Chilean patrol lost in
Patagonia during the
Beagle conflict of December 1978. The patrol becomes lost and builds a trench in the middle of the Patagonian plains only to discover that there is an Argentine trench in front of them. Likewise the Argentine group is also lost and unsure of the actual location of the country's border. The story is set during a period in which war seems imminent, and portrays these two groups interacting in ways both friendly and conflictive (hence the title of the movie).
