Sinopsis
Astronauts from all over the world gather in the Atacama desert in Chile (3000 m above sea level) to watch the stars. Below, the dry earth preserves human remains intact: mommies, explorers, adventurers, natives, miners and skeletons of political prisoners from the dictatorship. Whilst the astronauts search for extraterrestrial life, a group of women look for their relatives.
