Synopsis

The filmmaker sets out to create a way to update his parents on both intimate family matters and social political events, starting with his father’s death just days after Allende’s election, until today. Fifty years of the filmmaker’s life and of Chile based on a combination of personal family archival footage and new material give rise to an intimate, sociopolitical fabric that persists in the investigative, exploratory form of AGÜERO’s films, which he calls the cinema of divagation.
