Les sœurs Jaouen

After the coup in Uruguay in 1973, thousands of intellectuals and artists fled the country. The filmmaker’s father was among them and left for Europe. After his passing, she came upon some Super 8 movies and audio files he had recorded. Through this archive, she started building a new family story trying to reveal and understand the silent pain of exile.

Together, Damien and Max vow to make it off the streets. But when they are expelled from their camp, Damien injures his hand. To save it, he must navigate a world that seems determined to work against him — and ultimately faces a harrowing choice.
