Chile, 1984. As a wave of UFO sightings — and a military dictatorship — sweep the country, a group of short-wave radio operators receive mysterious communications from a nearby island. Through the crackling voices, they learn that a highly developed extraterrestrial race has taken residence on Friendship Island and is offering the listeners the promise of a better world.

This documentary follows one of the most unique bands in Chile's 1990s independent music scene. Tobías Alcayota combined psychedelia, punk, and Latin American roots in an eight-year journey and seven albums. The work integrates audiovisual aesthetics and video formats, thus proposing an experimental and authorial direction alongside the group's music.

One morning in June 2005, the guards of the National Museum of Fine Arts of Chile, noticed that a millionaire Auguste Rodin sculpture had been stolen. 24 hours after the event a shy art student returns the piece arguing that he had stolen it as part of an artistic project. A documentary that explores the dilemmas of the artist and contemporary art.
