Indiewire has released a first look at stills of actor Gael García Bernal in the upcoming film by Pablo Larraín, called "Neruda."

The film, which is midway through production, stars Garcia Bernal as a police inspector given the job of finding Pablo Neruda, a politician and an award-winning Chilean poet, played by Luis Gnecco.

The film is the second time Larraín works with García Bernal, Gnecco, Alfredo Castro, Jaime Vadell, Alejandro Goic and Marcelo Alonso, who all worked together on the Oscar-nominated film "No." The film was written by Guillermo Calderon, who is of Chilean decent and was the winner of the 2012 World Cinema Jury Prize winner for his work on "Violeta Went to Heaven."

The synopsis for the film has also been released and explains that the film is set in 1948 during the Cold War in Chile. Pablo Neruda criticizes the government, and when the president calls for his impeachment, he tries to escape the country with his wife but fails and must go into hiding. It is during this time that he becomes a poet and writes the "Canto General," which is a history of and ode to Latin America written in 231 poems.

Neruda becomes a legend and the face of political rebellion while doing his best to stay out of sight from Óscar Peluchonneau, the police prefect hot on his heels, played by García Bernal.

In July, Variety called the film one of the biggest films coming out of Latin America and spoke to Juan de Dios Larrain of Chilean Film production company Fabula, who partnered with France's Funny Balloons and Reborn Productions, Spain's Setembro Cine and Argentina's AZ Films to make the film.

"The film turns on Pablo Neruda's defining his identity as a human being, where he stands for the rest of his life," he explained when talking about what audiences should take from the film.

Production for "Neruda" is soon to wrap and will reportedly premiere during the 2016 film festival season, as well as possibly at Cannes. For a look at the exclusive photos head over to Indiewire.
