Dir, Diego Céspedes
Chile
2025
“The fascinating feature debut from writer-director Diego Céspedes, is a film of painfully bittersweet, enduringly beautiful joys”.

1982. Eleven-year-old Lidia lives with her beloved queer family in a desert mining town in northern Chile. As an unknown and deadly disease begins to spread, legend has it that it is transmitted between two men, through a simple glance, when they fall in love. While people are accusing her family, Lidia must find out whether this myth is real or not.
