Logline

Verano

Fragments of a summer day. In the south of Chile, small events shape the lives of visitors and employees of an old thermal resort. The stories of the protagonists connect in moments of everyday life. While the visitors experience a contemplative break, the locals are merged in their routine. After enjoying long vacation hours in nature, learning how to drive, kissing for the first time, swimming or just walking and talking, the day slowly unravels into impressions of happiness and discovery.

"This is a narrative made up of multiple stories, but it is not an ensemble piece. There is a center and many branches that break off from it. Their principal axes are precisely these small moments, the invisible instants of everyday life that all of the characters passing through the film experience."
