Plot

One day in the life of a typical rural family from central Chile. The grandmother sells cheeses on the roadside, the grandfather works in the fields, the daughter is a cook at an inn, and the grandson goes to school. In four distinct sections, we observe their small joys and struggles throughout a day that unabashedly showcases a transforming Chile that few are familiar with.
