The mother left Chile 26 years ago, her two children did not see her again. The children have grown up : the brother a film-maker, the daughter a librarian. They will try to fix, to give a body to the telephonic voice of their mother, to finish the spell of the family's phantom limb.

Two Chileans adopted in Europe embark on a journey. Daniel was declared dead at birth; Juan dreams of a wounded woman. Both seek to understand their origins, find a mother, and reconstruct their stories. Landless Children is an invitation to a journey—both mental and physical—into the depths of a forgotten land.

When the elderly caretaker of a remote morgue discovers the body of a young woman killed during a protest, he embarks on a magical odyssey to give her a proper burial before the militia returns.

In a drought-ravaged town, Judith has the mysterious gift of finding water underground. One day, a strange force draws her to an old well, where she senses a presence, pushing her into a social struggle to uncover the truth.

In a juvenile detention centre in Chile. At night, young people are seized by nightmares as they wait to be prosecuted. An exploration of the relationship between their lives, crimes, and nightmares.
