The Bewilderment of Chile

Angelica returns to Santiago after a decade in Europe. The city she remembered from childhood photographs now speaks a different language — political graffiti covers walls, cafes buzz with debates about the new constitution. She tries to reconnect with her father, an architect whose projects are frozen due to ongoing protests. Their quiet breakfasts on the balcony overlooking the Andes are interrupted by phone calls from former student movement comrades. This 2025 drama explores personal memory in an era of collective change, where the past is constantly rewritten and the future remains uncertain. The film balances intimate family scenes with street-level chronicles, painting a portrait of a country at a historical crossroads.
