Synopsis

Former residents of care homes build, from memory, an imagined house whose walls hold the voices and silences of a childhood far from their biological families. Each room awakens experiences and each object becomes a bridge to belonging, reshaping home and turning absence into a new place to inhabit.

  Chiledoc Company

  We are an independent audiovisual production company with a collective spirit. We work at the edges of cinema and non-cinema, exploring the video essay, audiovisual collage, and diverse forms of montage-based documentary. We move between original footage, personal archives, and disparate materials—historical, digital, and viral—to open new ways of seeing and thinking images, where the political and the affective intertwine.
