« The film revolves around the concept of soap opera. Its structure rests upon the hypothesis whereby Chilean reality does not exist but consists of a set of soap operas. There are four audiovisual provinces and the threat of war can be felt within the factions. Political and economic problems are steeped into a fictional boiling pot divided into evening episodes. All of Chilean reality is seen though the prism of soap opera, acting as a revealing filter of this very same reality. » Raúl Ruiz
