Trailer
From the marquee that she built in Santiago, Chile, Violeta Parra is visited by people who shaped her life. She’s alive, but perhaps she’s dead. We’ll gradually find out her secrets, fears, frustrations and joys. Not only presenting her multiple works, but also her memories, her loves and her hopes. Her achievements are suspended in a passionate journey with the characters who made her dream, laugh and cry.
With more than 3,000 songs and other inspiring works, Violeta Parra won the appreciation of national art, and opened the gates for the new Chilean song.
