Talcahuano

Saturday afternoon. The old family house seems to have stopped in time. Gathered there, María Luz, Noelia and Gonzalo go through the moarning of their mother’s recent death, trying to get a hold and to let go of memories and material things. They fight, plan and organize things trying to put a value on feelings and facing the prejudice that always prevailed in that home.
