Absence

Carmen Arriagada is a woman ahead of her time. A pioneer female writer with strong political opinions, something completely unusual in mid-XIX century Chile. Inspired on true events, the film highlights the love triangle between 3 friends: Carmen, her husband Gutike —a retired military official— and the love of her life, the famous painter Moritz Rugendas, with whom she maintains an epistolary relationship for 10 years, with few personal encounters.
