| Synopsis / Sinopsis |
| Set to unravel the central yet invisible place of female domestic
workers in Chilean culture, this film departs on a journey through time
and space, exploring the production and reproduction of family memories
through photo albums and the uses of space. Walking across the
different rooms of a particular home, La Ausencia aims to unlock the
stories fixed in its walls. This micro-expedition raises questions
regarding the limits of memory, the sense of place, the uses of
photography and the fussiness of kinship, through which it finally
conveys the concealed and blurred situation in which domestic workers
immerse. |
| O explorare a
universului instituţiei menajerelor din Chile, invizibil şi
indispensabil în în acelaţi timp. O călătorie în timp şi spaţiu printre
amintiri de familie, care creayă şi re-crează memoria familială prin albume de
fotografii şi prin spaţiul locuirii.
Pătrundem într-o casă, trecem dintr-o încăpere în alta şi descoperim ceea ce zidurile au păstrat
ascuns. O micro-expediţie care pune întrebări despre limitele memoriei,
apartenenţă, rude incomode. În această atmosferă se cufundă cele care trebuie
să-şi câştige existenţa ca menajere în Chile. |
