Filmed in a hybrid technological style, Alicia Scherson’s dramedy makes use of computers, headphones and video games to bring to life the story of Cristina, a young indigenous woman navigating early-aughts Santiago. A caretaker for an elderly white man, she becomes interested in Tristán, a young worker, but can they make their chemistry work given the social boundaries that separate them? As her journey of desire takes her through the construction sites, homes, malls, gardens and lush parks of Santiago, Cristina’s journey becomes a topographical, as well as an affective, odyssey. Tristán’s interest in an older, wealthier woman allows Cristina to express her own buried desire, and her emotions become aligned with the city’s texture and technology; midway through the film, an apartment complex transforms into a video game arena, with Cristina as the whip-smart protagonist battling her way through the digital world.
