Rue Santa Fe, un amour révolutionnaire

Santa Fe, a Revolutionnary Love

A film about the political commitment of a Chilean woman, Carmen Castillo, who survived her companion, Miguel Enriquez, who led the underground resistance against Pinochet's dictatorship, and who died in a working class quarter of Santiago. A story underscored by some questions: Were all these acts of resistance worthwhile? Did Miguel and the others die in vain? In the course of her encounters with the residents of calle Santa Fe, the family, friends, their lives, there faces, Carmen Castillo follows a path that leads from the underground to exile, from the bright days of Allende to the dark years of the dictatorship, with all those who had fought and those who continue to resist today. What comes through is the history of a generation of revolutionaries and that of a divided country. The search for the meaning of these committed lives takes us to the substratum of a country struck with amnesia where the dead are not dead and where the young once again invent a dream.
