A documentary on water, the Chilean coast and the history of its indigenous people.
Sinekatalog’s take
Patricio Guzmán's documentary traces Chile's history through water, from the Pacific to the lost indigenous peoples and the dictatorship's victims. Poetic and haunting, it is a luminous essay on memory and the sea.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
