Nostalgia for the Light

In this thought-provoking film, astronomers delve into the mysteries of the cosmos from Chile's Atacama Desert, a landscape starkly contrasted by the search for truth and answers about life's origins. Parallel to their investigations, a group of women perseveringly scour the desert sands for fragments of lost loved ones callously discarded by Pinochet's regime, unveiling the raw pain of human suffering. The film masterfully juxtaposes these two journeys, illustrating the vastness of the cosmos and the depths of individual struggle. It's a poignant reflection on our place in the universe and our relentless pursuit to make sense of our existence amidst tragedy and loss.
