Synopsis
Northern Chile, 1982. In a small mining town in the desert, an unknown disease begins to afflict the local population. It is rumored to be spread through a single look. As fear of contagion stirs up paranoia, hate, and violence in the community, eleven-year-old Lidia sets out in search of the truth.
Editorial
Winner of Un Certain Regard at Cannes, Diego Céspedes’s debut feature pays luminous tribute to human resilience in inhumane times. Equal parts Chilean Western, dark fairy tale, and chosen-family hangout movie, this gorgeous work of queer magical realism finds love thriving amid sickness and hatred.
