This is an autobiographic story that begins on September 11th, 1973 in Chile, when I was six years old. From that moment my life changed forever. I was exiled with my mother to the ex GDR. My father, journalist Augusto Carmona, MIR activist, stayed underground until 1977, when he was murdered. From these two facts, the documentary film rebuilds the story of those who stayed in Chile fighting to overthrow the dictatorship and those who were exiled and suffered the rootlessness.  It is a subjective outlook of history from a “family album”, my own story, that of my friends and our parents.
