Ausencia (2017)

Carmen Arriagada is a woman ahead of her time. A pioneer female writer with strong political opinions, something completely unusual in mid-XIX century Chile. Inspired on true events, the film highlights the love triangle between 3 friends: Carmen, her husband Gutike -a retired military official- and the love of her life, the famous painter Moritz Rugendas, with whom she maintains an epistolary relationship for 10 years, with few personal encounters.
