Clever Monkey Pinochet Versus La Moneda’s Pigs

This is a film about the September the 11th, 1973 Military Coup in Chile, from the point of view of those Chileans who were born and grew up after this traumatic historic event.

Based on improvisation and collective creation work, different groups of pre-school kids, school children and university students, from different social, cultural and political origins, tell the History through mise-en-scenes that come from their own imaginary.

The film articulates this creative vortex in a multiple narrative flow. The plot follows the thread of the events, but according to the way they are in the imaginary of Chilean children and young people.

The result is a cinematographic mosaic that, more than to speak of the past, gives account of the complex situation in which is a society that has not known to process its history.
