following in Isabel’s footsteps. His route

the recovery of public education, and
the rejection of institutional policies.

The Surire salt flat is located in the Chilean high
plateau at 4,300 meters over the sea level, on
the border with Bolivia. In its surroundings live a
handful of elders, the last survivors of the Aymara
culture in the area. As background, the machinery
of a mine site roams the landscape, intermingled
with flamingos, vicunas and llamas. SURIRE is a film
that from observation and visual language portrays
this unique space in which coexist natural beauty,
human absurdity, and cultural decline.
