Synopsis "Himno del Ángel Parado en una Pata (in Spanish)"

Himno del ángel parado en una pata explora, a partir de la mirada de un adolescente, la dura pero exultante lucha por la supervivencia, su aprendizaje del amor, la cita en los sueños y en la vigilia con una tenaz fantasmagoría: los ángeles innumerables del obsesivo repertorio bíblico familiar. Todo esto en el interior de una historia intensa y conmovedora, el drama pero también la picaresca, la esperanza y la fuerza de quien se alza sobre los despojos de las salitreras chilenas abandonadas para reclamarle al ángel el derecho a marchar sobre sus dos pies.
