Based on Marilú Mallet's experiences as a Chilean immigrant in Canada, the documentary is a poignant self-portrait filmed nine years after the director's exile from Chile.

Throughout the documentary, Mallet faces various challenges, including criticism from her film director husband, who disapproves of her approach to filmmaking.
