BITTER GOLD
synopsis
Carola is 16 and dreams of a higher education and a house by the sea, but lives with Pacifico, her father, in the middle of the Atacama Desert. Together with a small group of miners, they work the artisanal Cobra gold mine to survive. Father and daughter hide a treasure from the others: a vein of gold on which they secretly work at night.
