A character-driven film about forced displacement in Chile under the Pinochet dictatorship, tracing the intersecting threads of memory, human rights, and the ongoing erasure of land and identity through conservation and greenwashing.
Synopsis: Southern Chile, 1978 — four-year-old Antonia López and her family are forced from their home by Pinochet’s dictatorship. Nearly 50 years later, she returns to the land she once called home, now a privatized luxury nature reserve marketed as conservation. Through pilgrimages, workshops, and legal action, Antonia rallies her community to memorialize and reclaim the territory that was theirs. The film explores intergenerational trauma, resilience, and the fight to confront entrenched power and reclaim land in southern Chile.
