The ocean contains the history of all humanity. The sea holds all the voices of the earth and those that come from outer space. Water receives impetus from the stars and transmits it to living creatures. Water, the longest border in Chile, also holds the secret of two mysterious buttons which were found on its ocean floor. Chile, with its 2,670 miles of coastline and the largest archipelago in the world, presents a supernatural landscape. In it are volcanoes, mountains and glaciers. In it are the voices of the Patagonian Indigenous people, the first English sailors and also those of its political prisoners. Some say that water has memory. This film shows that it also has a voice.

After going North for Nostalgia for the Light and South for The Pearl Button, I now feel ready to shoot this immense spine to explore its mysteries, powerful revelations of Chile’s past and present history." Patricio Guzmán

In 2008 Patricio Guzmán carried out a survey to find out the "state of historical memory" in Santiago. To do this, it brings together a small number of historians, psychologists, economists, engineers, lawyers and other members of the Chilean elite. It is a documentary in the form of a report that directly shows the opinions of each participant (including Juan Emilio Cheyre, former commander-in-chief of the armed forces). As expected, the result is controversial.
