SYNOPSIS
The filmmaker takes us on an explorative journey to learn more about her mother's family. Part of them fled Chile following the 1973 military coup due to their close connection to former president Salvador Allende. Through fragmented memories, the film follows her cousin Lua as she navigates questions of identity, family history, and the lasting impact of the past on a new generation.
