Dominga Sotomayor : 2018
Too Late to Die Young
During the summer of 1990 in Chile, a small group of families, living in an isolated community right below the Andes, builds a new world away from the urban excesses, trying to put to good use the emerging freedom that followed the recent end of the country's dictatorship. In this time of change and reckoning, the teenagers Sofía, Lucas and Clara struggle with their parents, their first love, and their fears as they prepare a big party for New Year's Eve. They may live far from the dangers of the city, but not from the ones of nature. Dominga Sotomayor's second full feature, inspired by memories of her own childhood in the Ecological Community of Peñalolén, was winner of the Leopard for Best Director when it premiered in competition in the Concorso internazionale section at Locarno Film Festival 2018.
