Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Shot in Santiago's Bellavista neighborhood, the film captures Chile's 2010s indie wave—microbudget, psychologically claustrophobic, deeply suspicious of urban 'community.'
Lavanderos originally wrote Jerónimo as sympathetic; Palma's performance pushed it into something more unsettlingly ambiguous. The director kept it.
