Los perros

Mariana (42) is a slightly off- the-wallwoman, who stands out from the Chilean upper class to which she belongs. Her father, Francisco, has raised her with love and kindness, but also with a strong grip. Pedro, her husband, is a workaholic architect who doesn’t seem to make her happy. She finds solace in the company of Juan (60), a riding teacher and a former colonel with a shady past.

Marcela Said

Marcela Said (1972). In 2013, her first feature film The summer of flying fish, produced by Jirafa Films and Cinéma Defacto was presented at the Director’s Fortnight of the Cannes Film Festival.
