Synopsis

Experimental documentary based on the newspaper «El Recuerdo», a deep investigation on historical repetitions in the Transgenerational Tree of Chile.
A Soul, from the valley of death, remembers several of its past deaths, all of which occurred on the significant day of September 11, between the years 1541 and 2001. In this journey through time, it discovers surprising national and international patterns, which are analyzed by prominent interviewees.
Finally, the Soul understands that by knowing its history it can avoid repeating it. Immersed in the magic of awakening, it joins the impressive flow of souls that fly over the city, heading towards a new rebirth.
