El otro día

Synopsis

The director's front door is a portal between the inside of his house and the street outside. Within, the filmmaker's personal life and past, together with his world of objects, imagination and thoughts; without, the city of Santiago de Chile. The stories of the filmmaker's inner sanctum are interrupted whenever someone knocks on the door and, in doing so, steps into the film, creating a universe where private life is woven into the city through a map of red threads.
