The film revolves around the concept of soap opera. Its structure is based on the assumption that Chilean reality does not exist, but rather is an ensemble of soap operas.
Narrator (voice)
The life of the composer, songwriter, folklorist, ethnomusicologist and visual artist Violeta Parra, in stop-motion animation.
The film is about Eloy, a Chilean bandit and companion of Joaquín Murieta, who is wanted by the justice system on the border with Argentina. Although an escape seems impossible, in desperation he flees without a fixed destination.
The death of his newborn brother will cause a child from the poor neighborhoods of Santiago to walk around the city with the lost cardboard wings that the dead baby lost after the wake, trying to return them to him with the illusion that his little brother can fly to heaven.
A boy goes to his friend's funeral procession. When he realizes that his grave does not have flowers like the others, and that he does not have money to buy them, he goes out looking for some in the streets of Santiago.
Pope
Rosita is a young girl suffering from her parents' divorce. Desperate and not knowing where to turn, she finds refuge in a church. The rituals of the Eucharist, the advice of a priest and her faith in God give her back the hope she needs to continue with her life.
