Not all the girls

While trying to explain to her seven-year-old son what it was like to grow up in Chile under the civil-military dictatorship, a mother is confronted with her own memories and the need to revisit her past. After almost twenty years living in Spain, she decides to find women who, like her, were born and spent their early years under the Chilean dictatorship. Andrea, Claudia, Alejandra, Daniela, Victoria and Sol gather in a house to share their experiences and explore how that early experience — often fragmented or beyond conscious memory — has left marks that remain present in their lives. In this encounter, the personal and the political intertwine, giving rise to a collective reflection on memory, identity, and the ways in which the past transforms and endures from one generation to another.
