Synopsis
Essay film that traces the return of the filmmaker to her craft at the moment of the economic crisis of 2008. Filmed mostly in Chicago and in the central coast of Chile, the piece interweaves poetic images, quotes from various texts, interviews with people as they reflect on their work experience, and the filmmaker’s own creative process. The song of the apprentice underscores process as an essential part of the creative act and emphasizes the need for meaningful and dignified work.
