Alejandra's Father
Daniel and Alejandra, a working class couple in their late 30s, move to the countryside near the Andes Mountains to begin the next chapter of their life together. Alejandra is ill, and Daniel looks after her, his soul mate. He scratches out a living doing farm work, while dreaming of buying his own plot of land. Over the course of a year, director Alejandro Fernández Almendras captures a life of love and frustration as Alejandra’s condition worsens, and Daniel can do nothing but keep on struggling.
Antonio
An older couple is waiting for a visit from their daughter and grandson. It is winter in the Chilean countryside, yet there is a lot of work to be done. He cleans the ditch; she sells home-made cheese. After a long day it starts raining again. They sit in silence by the open hearth, waiting for the rain to stop.
