A roaming city symphony of small gestures and new textures: two women traverse across Santiago, where images fuel change and imperfection becomes a language of belonging.
Two women wander a city. The journey unfolds through distance and approach: wide shots later explored by digital zoom, reframing familiar avenues and revealing unnoticed gestures. Streets and windows become a sentimental architecture where peripheries move to the centre. Conceived as a love letter to Santiago, the film favours tenderness and everyday affection, embracing imperfection to spark new imaginaries.
