Two Chileans, on opposing sides of the political spectrum, experience a year of turmoil as protests give way to transformation. In 2019, millions of Chileans rose up in a popular revolt that resulted in radical change: the call for an assembly that will amend the constitution imposed by the Pinochet dictatorship and its economic neoliberal model, referred to as ‘The Brick’. This change is seen through the eyes of Ramiro, a wealthy businessman, and Mariana, a lower middle-class teacher. Historical conflicts that were long thought resolved come to light as the assembly process draws closer, showing how the wounds of a brutal dictatorship are deep, lasting and must be reconciled at all costs.
