- Synopsis
- The film takes us on a dreamlike journey in an imaginary land, Cofralandes, a country at the end of the world, or, if one prefers, outside the world. Far-off Chile is shown through the eyes of three travellers: a Frenchman, a German and an Englishman. Accompanying them is a camera behind which is a narrator: a Chilean who re-discovers the strange country that is his homeland - land of dreams and nightmares. Extravagant characters appear before the camera, unusual situations are created, and images are invented from a place whose sweetness wounds and kills; a country whose sole distinctive sign is precisely absence; a place where the absence of colour is the local colour. And yet, little by little, from this sort of Sargasso Sea, images and situations emerge here and there in which pleasure and uncontrollable laughter are revealed as jolly companions to pain and incertitude - but also in which a massacre lurks in a child's poem and an earthquake, in a smile.
