Synopsis

In this universe is connected, from the asteroid that bears my last name, to the shutter of the camera that filmed this documentary. Upon discovering this strange galactic rock, I embark on a journey that leads me to my great grandfather, a controversial astrophysicist who tried to build the largest telescope in the southern hemisphere in Chile during the cold war, something like a legend in the country and my personal idol. As I discover his darker sides, I will challenge his legacy and lose all sense of myself as an autoimmune disease begins to attack my body.
