The memory of an Afro-Chilean family is permeated by the memory of Rosa Corvacho (1921-2011), their grandmother and matriarch, awakening in them a process of regression, where the bodies, voices and family gestures reactivate the denied history of Black Chile, such as Chileanization, the whitening policies of the north of the country and how these families lived in the daily life of the 20th century.
