"Almost two years after the social outbreak in Chile. A tribute to its citizens and to the First Line. A film shot in Berlin with performances by international artists, the music of Victor Jara and images of the uprising captured by eyewitnesses."

It's an art-documentary short film based on Patricio Soto's homonymous theater play.
As a reflection on the events occurred in Chile October 2019. South-american and German artists developed performances about the social discontent. Victor Jara's music has inspired this art-documentary, that reenacts intimate situations of the protesters daily life at Plaza Dignidad (Zero Zone),
