Synopsis
A fragmented story of a Chilean woman in exile. A writer and a political activist, she became a victim of torture and rape at the hands of the dictator's security police in Santiago in the early '80s. The magic realist images, soundtrack and poetic text explore the woman's memory while becoming a voyage full of myth and magic; an intimate reflection on displacement.
