Synopsis

In the midst of the Mapuche conflict, I return to my childhood school to teach a film workshop. The return reminds me of when it was set on fire, and my family name was painted on its walls: We were seen as usurpers. Full of questions, I seek out former classmates, some of whom consider us enemies, in an attempt to understand where I belong in that place.
