Soñé Que Vivía
Santiago de Chile, 2012. When she goes back to classes at her all-girls high school, Alexandra (17) does not want to face reality: neither the failure of a year of mobilization nor her early pregnancy. Going from utopia, where politics is handled between women, to the repetitive domestic character of her home is a radical change. Alexandra sees her dreams fading away, and her self-destructive ghosts coming back to her again.
