SYNOPSIS

It’s 1988 and the plebiscite that will end a nearly 15-year dictatorship in Chile is on the horizon. Seven-year-old Manuela is obsessed with the dress she’ll wear for her school's Independence Day celebration. As she pesters her older brother Gabo to get her the dress, Manuela will stumble upon the political tensions that divide her home. With the long-awaited dress on and ready to celebrate at school, a new sense of independence will awaken within Manuela.

DIRECTOR'S VISION

A small story in a bigger picture, and how both stories interact and influence each other, is something that fascinates me and that has been part of all the stories I’m interested in telling. The small scale details of a kid, her own sense of time and understanding, v/s the political turmoil and chaos of a nation. This is a coming of age story that will definitely shape her personality.  
This is my LOVE LETTER to all those kids who experienced that first “BEAT” when they all discovered there was a BIGGER REALITY. Something that hurt us profoundly, but also made us stronger.
