Storyline

Opposite the imposing Andes stands Santiago de Chile, with its six million inhabitants, its clouds of pollution and its social housing high-rises stretching as far as the eye can see. During the lockdown, Felipe Elgueta and Ananké Pereira create a mosaic formed by moments from the daily life of immigrants living in cramped accommodation, the profile of a fragmented urban landscape.
