María travels to Puerto Williams, at the southern tip of Chile, to star in a film. But when a powerful storm prevents the crew from arriving, she finds herself stranded and alone. As she seeks relief for a sudden bout of severe back pain, María begins to discover the rhythms of life in the world’s southernmost city – and with it, an unresolved chapter from her own past. The latest film by acclaimed director José Luis Torres Leiva features María Alché—the Argentine director of A Family Submerged and star of Lucrecia Martel’s The Holy Girl—in a quietly luminous performance. Meditative and atmospheric, the film unfolds like a diary of solitude and revelation, capturing the fragile beauty of place, memory, and the passage of time.
