Casts & Crew
Also Directed by Marilú Mallet
An early film by Marilú Mallet (as Maria Luisa Mallet) created for the Education Ministry's Department of Culture under Salvador Allende's Popular Unity government. The film combines images with intertitles that present the disparity in land distribution, economic opportunity, and civil rights between the indigenous Mapuche people and Chilean Whites/Mestizos. - KG
In this heartwarming docudrama, Chilean immigrant Marilú Mallet strives to make a film about her experience of deep isolation. Her English-speaking husband, a prominent film director, criticizes her subjective approach to filmmaking; her young son, raised in Quebec, speaks only French. Interviews with Isabel Allende and other Chilean exiles reveal a deep bond in this powerful and resonant film about language and genre, exile and immigration.
