Synopsis

A Mapuche historian (36) traces the experience of his people in Santiago, from its founding in 1541 to the defeat of the plurinational New Constitution proposal led by Elisa Loncon. Under the concept of pewma («dream»), we trace a journey through photographs, paintings, and performances to imagine the becoming of a champuria («mixed») city.
