Trailer
Curatorial note:
This is a story about family and grief, but also about resistance in Chile, a country still scarred by the pain of forced disappearances during the dictatorship. Through this journey between memory and the sea, the film questions the traces left by political violence and the silence imposed by history. What can be expected when negotiating with those who have destroyed lives? Camille Le Manchec
