Dialogues of Exiles

During the early 1970s, a Chilean group arrives in Paris, exiled from Pinochet’s military regime in their native country. When they find in Paris a singer who shares their home and supports the military government, they kidnap him, assured they can change his mind. Through this film, Ruiz discusses the exiled communities in France that he belonged to himself, not only criticizing them but also recognizing the hardship faced by those escaping the Chilean dictatorship. The film was shown in a special session at LEFFEST’10.
