Plot

It is summer in Santiago and architect Tristan's life is falling apart; his girlfriend leaves him, his job is interrupted by a strike and his suitcase is stolen. On the other side of the railway tracks, Christina's quiet life is changing; she finds the suitcase inside a garbage can and enters Tristan's world through his big headphones, smokes his cigarettes and becomes a silent witness to his downfall. Christina and Tristan wander a hot and polluted Santiago de Chile, both searching but unable to find each other. A winning and sensitive take on modern metropolitan life across the class divide.
