Recordari ‘back through the heart’.
Santiago de Chile, 1980. Camila and Paula are 7 years old neighbours and best friends. Outside their homes, their lives and those of their families are determined by Pinochet’s military dictatorship: iron discipline, curfews, violence and the oppression of the regime. After a night of peaceful and emotional protest, the two friends are destined to go their separate ways.
