00:00until the myth disappeared from our heads.
00:03What characteristics did he have according to you?
00:07He was...
00:10very expressive, Rodrigo.
00:16Very fast.
00:18He wanted to do everything at once.
00:20He wanted to think about it, say it and do it.
00:24He was very, very fast.
00:25That's a characteristic that I have...
00:28very marked by Rodrigo.
00:31Now, I see Rodrigo's case as atypical,
00:33in the sense that he didn't choose any of the two paths.
00:36He chose a personal path...
00:39kind of crazy, right?
00:40I mean, in the sense of...
00:42crossing that barrier, let's say, between...
00:45the crime justified...
00:48ideologically.
00:50It quickly became, let's say, a crime that,
00:53for any mortal,
00:55is another crime, let's say.
00:56An economic crime, a robbery, etc.
00:58I think that was a critical trial,
01:00and he didn't live that,
01:01and I don't think anyone else will live it...
01:03as atypically as he did.
01:09This has to do with a psychological problem, perhaps...
01:14unknown to us yet.
01:17It has to do, perhaps,
01:20with a person who lived to the limit...
01:24a series of experiences...
01:26closely linked to death...
01:30and, suddenly, the loss of faith,
01:33the loss of convictions,
01:35and the search,
01:36and in that search, the disorientation.
01:39I would say it's another symptom...
01:41of the disorientation of a generation.
01:44I think that's the main thing.
01:47But...
01:49perhaps the tragic thing about his case...
01:51is that when he was arrested,
01:55he had already reoriented his life.
01:59He was in a process of assimilation...
02:04to a certain social normality.
02:06He was a person who...
02:08had formally resumed his studies.
02:11A person who, indeed,
02:13was being an absolutely normal student.
02:17Excuse me.
02:18So...
02:19the tragic thing is there.
02:21When a man reintegrates into everyday life,
02:24into normal life,
02:25which all young people do,
02:27the hand of justice comes and stops him.
02:34While the justice analyzes the case...
02:36and puts him in the anti-social category...
02:38that Rodrigo Hidalgo had,
02:40he reaches the most primitive distances...
02:42that the human being has...
02:44to spend the hours and days in jail.
02:48Running...
02:49running...
02:50and running...
02:52until he gets tired.
03:00But with the passage of time,
03:02the creative and social anxiety...
03:04led this man to develop projects...
03:07to help the inmates.
03:09Interesting studies that have been working for months...
03:12culminated with a prevention program...
03:14against AIDS...
03:16and social integration of inmates.
03:19The same is done with young inmates...
03:21who are prepared not to return to prison...
03:23every time they are released.
03:26Statistics show...
03:28that 54% of them...
03:30fall for the second time.
03:32That is, they are re-incidents.
03:38On the other hand,
03:39after making a deep analysis...
03:41of the crisis that the Chilean prison system has,
03:44he proposed an interesting alternative model...
03:46that underlines...
03:48a humanist and democratic condition...
03:51based on respect for human rights...
03:53to overcome the sentence.
03:56Little by little, this young man has returned to his essence.
03:59The first years in prison...
04:00were in charge of getting all the evil out of his soul.
04:04But today, perhaps confused...
04:07for having wings and not being able to fly,
04:09he retorts...
04:10because the past does not forgive him.
04:13Rodrigo Hidalgo was sentenced to 10 years and 1 day.
04:16That is, he will have to fulfill...
04:18three quarters of his sentence...
04:20to apply for a prison benefit.
04:29In this corridor...
04:30are the cells for the inmates.
04:33Although they are all the same,
04:35Rodrigo and his partner...
04:37decorated it...
04:39to make it as close to his home environment as possible.
04:46To tell the truth,
04:47after appreciating the scenographic change...
04:50of this room...
04:52and that need to erase all the vestiges...
04:54that the confinement presumes,
04:57they perhaps speak of the terrible desire to live...
04:59that Rodrigo has.
05:05All the experiences,
05:07all the reflections...
05:09are translated into motivating writings.
05:19This is his only channel of expression in solitude.
05:22And his beloved Paola...
05:24his strongest inspiration.
05:28Self-criticism is painful.
05:29It is not easy...
05:30to understand what one did...
05:32why he did it...
05:34and to say...
05:35how many times it happened to me when I arrived...
05:37and I was uncommunicated for a long time...
05:39that I felt that...
05:41the world had come down on me...
05:43that...
05:44that they were going to leave me alone...
05:46and I felt a loneliness...
05:49that perhaps in that moment...
05:51the only thing I wanted was to stop existing.
05:55And in that moment...
05:59the regret...
06:01caused so much damage, so much pain...
06:04because one said...
06:06I thought...
