A young Chilean-American filmmaker reconstructs the secret story of his nomadic childhood in South America on a journey with his parents, piecing together their life as a family committed to the resistance movement against the Pinochet dictatorship in Chile in the 1980s. The journey retraces their steps from San Francisco, California, in 1980 to Santiago, Chile, in 1989, a few months before the historic elections that marked the end of the brutal 17-year military regime.
