The pearl button (2015)

“A history of Chile: the mysteries of water, brutality and archaic wisdom”

Vannets strømning er drivkraften i Guzmáns sørgende portrett av Chiles turbulente fortid og briljante natur. Filmen fremstiller Chiles enigmatiske urbefolkning som har overlevd Patagonias nådeløse natur i mange tusen år, parallelt med historien om Pinochets brutale regime. En skral perle knapp forbinder historiens strømmer.

The flow of water is the driving force of Guzmán’s lamentation of Chiles turbulent past and brilliant nature. It depicts a time of the arcane natives which have thrived in Patagonia’s merciless nature for thousands of years, paralleled by a story of Pinochet’s brutal regime. A futile pearl button connects the narrative’s streams.
