After a fire destructed my house, I return to the places where I grew up looking for childhood recollections. In this journey appears the memory of a photo for Karin Eitel, a young woman, tortured and detained during the dictatorship, to whom I owe my name. A story that my parents never told me, brings me closer to Karin and not just because of my name. In the background, the memory of a childhood in Chile, a country that reconstructed its democracy omitting its own history.

Em 2013, para celebrar o seu décimo aniversário, o IndieLisboa tinha convidado quatro realizadores a filmarem em Lisboa: Dominga Sotomayor e Marie Losier (vencedoras da Competição Internacional com “De Jueves a Domingo”, em 2012, e “The Ballad of Genesis and Lady Jaye”, em 2011, respectivamente), e Denis Côté e Gabriel Abrantes, duas presenças recorrentes do festival. “Aqui, em Lisboa” é o surpreendente resultado – quatro autores com quatro visões diferentes da cidade de Lisboa, passando pelos registos da ficção, do documentário, da comédia ou do fantástico. Mas com o traço comum que espelha o festival que os acolhe: a independência.
