Play

It is summer in Santiago and Tristan’s perfect life is falling apart. His girlfriend leaves him, his job is interrupted by a strike and his suitcase is stolen. On the other end of the city, Crisitina’s quiet life is changing. She finds the suitcase inside a garbage can and enters Tristan’s world through his big headphones, smoking his cigarettes and becoming the silent witness to his downfall. Cristina and Tristan wander a hot and polluted Santiago de Chile, both searching, but unable to find each other. PLAY is an urban tale, a small pop song about a big city. Debut by Chilean filmmaker Alicia Scherson, PLAY has been awarded, among others, the best new director award in Tribeca Film festival, best opera prima in La Habana and Audience Award in Montreal and Nantes.
