Nostalgia for the Light

Patricio Guzmán, 2010 (2 mins – trailer)

In Chile, at an altitude of 3,000 metres, astronomers from around the world gather in the Atacama Desert to observe the stars. The transparency of the sky is such that it allows one to look to the far reaches of the universe. The dry soil of the desert keeps human remains intact: those of mummies, explorers and miners. But also those of the prisoners of the Pinochet dictatorship, that some women continue to seek.
